Travel, town and date

The Statute extends bereavement leave by two days when you need to travel; the EBEP instead looks at whether the event happened in another town. On a working-day basis the leave starts on the first working day, because the right is to be absent from work.

Your collective agreement can improve any of these entitlements and add others. Where the Statute does not fix the counting basis, the agreement decides.
