How many days off do you get if your father in law passes away.

none, you have to apply for special leave

Thanks ,thought as much can i take time off unpaid.

Generally speaking your DOM "Could" give you a paid day off as "Special Leave", normally depends on how much he likes you.

Usual alternative is to re-arrange your Day Off. You could also take a day of as Leave (if you've got any left). Last resort is to take an un-paid day off.

And this is meant to be a Family Friendly Business concerned about it's Employees Mental Health.

How many days off do you get if your father in law passes away.

I took a week off when my father in law passed away got 3days special leave an 2days out of my own leave. an also did same when my mother in law passed away.

Totally depends on your manager. My mum passed away in February I took 5 days bereavement leave as I was organising everything but they deducted a days pay for her funeral the following week that’s how compassionate RM is
