What is an eligible ‘occasion’ for compassionate leave?
Q: A family member of one of our employees was taken ill and not expected to live. The employee travelled interstate for a week to see him. He passed away while she was there, and she stayed to attend his funeral. Is she entitled to 2 days’ compassionate leave for the whole event? Or 2 days for when the family member took ill and 2 days for when he died?
