Bereavement Leave Policy for Trusted Clinicians
As a Trusted Clinician, you may use eligible accrued sick leave for bereavement purposes. Under Trusted’s sick leave policy, you begin accruing sick leave on your first day of an assignment. You become eligible to use this leave starting on your 90th day of employment.
How to Log Bereavement Leave:
If you miss all or part of a shift due to bereavement, please record the missed time on the attached paper timecard.
In the “Sick/Called Off Personal Hours” column, enter the total hours missed and write "Sick."
In the "Additional Notes" section, write "Bereavement."
If you use electronic timekeeping, submit the paper timecard in addition to your electronic timecard. In this case, a manager's signature is not required.
If you are only submitting a paper timecard, a manager’s signature is required.
You may use bereavement leave to cover up to 3 contracted shifts. Any additional missed shifts beyond that can be logged as "Called Off Personal."
Additional Notes:
You must have eligible accrued sick time available and be past your 90-day eligibility period to receive pay for bereavement leave.
If you do not yet qualify for sick leave or have insufficient hours accrued, the time off will be unpaid.
Sick leave for bereavement cannot be applied to pre-approved or foreseeable absences already built into your contract.
