Benefits
Taking Civil Air Patrol leave under this policy will not result in the loss of any benefits accrued before the date on which leave began.

The Company will not retaliate or discriminate against employees who request or take leave in accordance with this policy. Bereavement Leave CREA, LLC will provide eligible employees with paid bereavement leave in accordance with the Illinois Family Bereavement Leave Act.
Reasons for Leave
You may use bereavement leave for the following reasons:
To attend the funeral (or alternative service) of a family member. To make arrangements due to the death of a family member. To grieve the death of a family member. For absences from work due to a miscarriage, an unsuccessful round of intrauterine insemination or of an assisted reproductive technology procedure, a failed adoption match or an adoption that is not finalized because it is contested by another party, a failed surrogacy agreement, a diagnosis that negatively impacts pregnancy or fertility, or a stillbirth.
For the purposes of this policy:
Family member means your child, stepchild, spouse, domestic partner, sibling, parent, mother- in-law, father-in-law, grandchild, grandparent, or stepparent. Child means your son or daughter who is a biological, adopted, or foster child; a stepchild; a legal ward; or a child to whom you are standing in loco parentis. Domestic partner means: (1) a person recognized as your domestic partner under any domestic partnership or civil union law of a state or political subdivision of a state; or (2) an unmarried adult person with whom you are in a committed, personal relationship, who is not a domestic partner as described in sentence (1) or in such a relationship with any other person, and who you have designated as your domestic partner to the Company.
Amount and Use of Leave
Eligible employees will be provided up to five days of paid and up to five days of unpaid leave bereavement leave in a 12-month period for the death of a family member. In the event of the death of more than one family member, this will increase to a total of six weeks of unpaid/paid leave during the 12-month period. Bereavement leave must be completed within 60 days after the date on which you receive notice of your family member's death. Where applicable, you may substitute any available paid leave for leave taken under this policy. This policy does not create any right to take more unpaid leave than is allowed under, or in addition to, the unpaid leave permitted by the federal Family and Medical Leave Act. This leave may run concurrently with leave under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act and/or any other leave, including paid leave, as permitted by state and federal law.
Notice
You must provide the Company with at least 48 hours' advance notice of your intent to take bereavement leave, unless such notice is not reasonable or practical.
