As a Trusted Clinician, you are able to use eligible accrued sick time for the purposes of bereavement leave.
Per Trusted's sick leave policy, you will begin accruing sick leave on your first day of an assignment with Trusted. You are eligible to begin using this leave beginning on your 90th day of employment with us.
If you miss all or part of a shift due to being sick, you can log that time on the attached paper timecard. Just log the time you miss, and be sure to write the total hours and “sick” in the sick/called off personal hours column and add a note in the additional notes field stating “bereavement”. The Payroll team will apply any applicable sick time.
If you submit your time electronically, this paper timecard will be submitted in addition to your electronic timekeeping and the paper does NOT need to be signed by your manager.
If you are only submitting a paper timecard, you can add your sick time to your paper timecard, but it DOES need to be signed by a manager.
Bereavement can be used to cover 3 missed contracted shifts. If missing more than 3 shifts, they can be added and logged as "called off personal."
Please note that while you may apply any eligible accrued sick leave to a shift(s) for bereavement leave, if you do not have enough sick leave accrued, or you are not yet eligible to use your sick leave, your shift will be unpaid. Also, sick leave used for bereavement cannot be used in the event of a foreseeable absence where time off was already requested and approved in your contract.
