A lawmaker is pushing for the passage of a new law that would grant a fully paid week-long bereavement leave benefit to all employees in the event of an immediate family member’s death.
In House Bill No. 4340, Quezon City Rep. Marvin Rillo said private and public sector employees would be entitled to seven days of paid bereavement leave following the death of a spouse, biological or adoptive parent or child, or a full or half-blood brother or sister.
Under the bill, the bereavement leave would be in addition to all paid leave benefits currently enjoyed by employees. Under the bill, employers who fail to grant the bereavement leave benefit would face punishment by a maximum fine of P20,000 or up to 30 days in prison.
