(1)  beyond the week after the date of the funeral where the death or funeral occurs inside the country. However, on presentation of a supporting document, the employee may have 2 days of leave to attend the interment or cremation of the body or its placement in a public vault. The employee must advise the employer of the absence as soon as the date becomes known;

(2)  beyond 30 days after the date of the death where the death or funeral occurs outside the country.

In the event that a death for which the employee is entitled to a vacation under sections 9.02 to 9.05 occurs during the employee’s annual vacation, unless there is an agreement between the employee and the employer concerning the resumption of the vacation at a later date, the employee’s annual vacation must be extended by a period equivalent to the vacation to which the employee is entitled.
