Call from HR

So, my grandpa passed away last Monday. I email HR last Sunday and say I won’t be in the office tomorrow to spend time with him while he’s in hospice care. Anyways, he died Monday morning and I took that Tuesday off for bereavement. I filled out my time card on Friday and used Monday and Tuesday for bereavement (we get 3 days).

She called me this morning and asked when my grandpa died to see if my bereavement day I used on Monday was valid, or if I needed to switch it to a sick day.

How fukd is that? I’m pissed off and going to her boss to complain when I settle down. Imagine having the audacity to make that phone call. Fukn pissed off.

She has also emailed me about using sick time for taking my dog to the ER and made me switch it to vacation.

Yes it does. I’m going to our managing partner and complaining and see what happens. Not letting this one slide.

At one of my old jobs, the boss was a dick when my grandpa died. My grandma had died 3 months earlier and he said I already had taken time off for bereavement earlier. I submitted the bereavement request anyway and HR told him I was okay to take it, lol.

Then I wanted some vacation days off a few months later and he wouldn't approve because I had just taken some time off for my grandpa's funeral a few months earlier. Hated that dickhead.

Stop telling them why you are using your time dummy.

Only reason I did that is because if I use a sick day she’ll be all up in my business about covid and will make me go get tested.

And they will have to pay for it.

Just say it is personal. They are creating a liability for themselves getting all up in your health business. Tell them it's just AIDS and no big deal.

Calling an employee and asking when their family member officially died to see if using a bereavement day is valid? Pretty offensive and insensitive if you ask me

Sorry for being brass tacks here - but is their some company policy on how many days related to a personal tragedy/ranking how “bad” it is? Who cares if it was one day or other - anything in the immediate week maybe 2 weeks seems insane to question.

Absolute try to get her in as much trouble for this as possible.

100% agreed. They shouldn't even care. You have the time off you should be able to use it as you please.

I’m not sure, but I took two days off immediately (the day he died and the day after) and am using one on Wednesday for the funeral. We get three bereavement days for family members that pass away. I used 3 days in 2018 for my grandma that passed away.

First sorry to hear about your grandpa brah. That is always a tough loss.

Honestly it just sounds like she wants to classify the time off correctly.

We have specified time off to assist sick family and separate bereavement policies. So when the person is alive there is a separate group of days and after the person is dead there is anther policy in effect. Might be sensitive to ask but she needs to classify it all properly.

That’s unacceptable. You get three days, you can take three days - I don’t care if it’s a couple weeks later for the funeral. Bush must have zero soul. Imagine thinking “I guess I’ll pick up the phone now and question someone if they really are upset as a blood relative dying.”

Ohhh yea, this is SUPER critical. Totally not some bullsht the bean counters invented to force more hard and soft power on employees.

Totally couldn’t have waited until he got back to work or anything either.

No they don't. Bereavement is a function of payroll, not HR. It is nothing more than a code.

It's all about the dehumanization of you as a worker. If the business you work for even has an hr department, there is no chance that they actually care about you.

Time to leave that company.

My employer, despite strong policy and constant training about not giving out passwords due to the sensitive nature of things we have access to, constantly asks for my password to "fix timecard issues" that have to happen NOW. Wont be surprised when the FBI comes knocking on their door.

My company has different amount of bereavement days depending on who passed away. For my grandmother I got 3 days and for my niece I only got 1.

If an employee at my company tried to use his sick time to take his dog to a vet, I would tell HR to be skeptical of any time reported off for anything other than vacation.

You earn your vacation, everything else is granted by the company, and you abused sick time. You're on the chit list now.
