93 Neb. Admin. Code, ch. 9, § 008
Up to forty (40) hours paid bereavement leave may be granted to employees for a death in the immediate family. For a death not in the immediate family, up to eight (8) hours leave with pay may be granted. For purposes of this Section, immediate family means spouse, parents, grandparents, siblings, children, step children, including children, children-in-law, nieces/nephews, aunts/uncles, grandchildren, spouse of any of these, or someone who bears a similar relationship to the spouse of the employee. Step-persons bearing these relationships are included. At the discretion of the appropriate Office Administrator, bereavement leave benefits may be extended for other individuals with a similar personal relationship (e.g., acted as a mother, father, etc.) to the employee as that of an immediate family member. The hours of bereavement leave that may be granted to part-time employees will be proportionate to the percentage of FTE that they work. Bereavement leave will not be charged to sick leave or vacation leave.
