This question is about bereavement leave.

Is bereavement leave required by law?

By Zippia Team - Dec. 7, 2022

No, there is no federal law requiring bereavement leave. Most states also don't have requirements for private companies to offer paid bereavement leave.

Only one state, which is Oregon, that requires up to two weeks of leave per family member for employers with 25 or more employees. If you are unsure if your company offers any bereavement leave, check your company policies.
