Employee Benefits
Bereavement Leave
The Santa Fe ISD Human Resources Regulations regarding Bereavement Leave states:

The days shall be consecutive business days. The employee shall receive regular hourly or daily rates for days missed, provided the days are regularly scheduled workdays. The employee shall not be required to use available state or local leave to receive the maximum amount of three days of bereavement leave per eligible occurrence. Additional days of absence beyond the allotted maximum will result in a deduction of accumulated state or local leave. Appropriate documentation shall be provided for bereavement leave upon request.
