NCG Medical's Company Bereavement Leave Policy

We know the loss of someone dear to you is a difficult time to endure. As you take time to grieve, we hope to support you through this difficult time. This document outlines company policies and procedures regarding bereavement leave due to the death of a loved one.

Bereavement Leave

We recognize that you will need time away from work for the following:

• Personal mourning and reflection
• Arrangements for your loved one, funeral services, and memorial services
• Attendance of funeral or memorial services
• Resolving any legal, financial, and family obligations
• Other activities related to the passing of a loved one

Our company offers five days of paid time off from all work duties after the death of an immediate family member and two days of paid time off for other loved ones.

Bereavement leave for immediate family members

NCG Medical offers five days of paid time off for bereavement leave after the death of an immediate family member for both full-time and part-time employees. If you need additional time beyond the five days, you can request up to two weeks of additional time through your manager using any accrued paid time off or by taking unpaid leave. Immediate family members are defined as the following:

• Spouse or domestic partner
• Parent
• Child (birth, foster, adopted, step)
• Sibling
• Grand or great grandparent
• In-law (mother, father, son, daughter)
• Stepparent
• Aunt or uncle
• Niece, nephew, or Godchild
• Cousin

Bereavement leave for other loved ones

In the event of the loss of extended family or close friends, NCG Medical will provide two days of paid time off for bereavement leave. This includes both full-time and part-time employees. Any person unspecified as immediate family is considered "other loved ones."

If you need additional time beyond the two days, you can request additional time off through a manager using any accrued paid time off or up to two extra weeks of leave unpaid.
