Final answer:
Funeral leave is generally treated as Bereavement Leave, which is separate from FM_LA's 12 weeks of unpaid leave for family reasons.
Step-by-step explanation:
Time taken off with pay for funeral leave shall generally be treated as and charged to Bereavement Leave. This is a specific type of leave provided by many employers that allows employees time off from work to deal with the death of a family member. In most cases, policies regarding funeral leave stipulate that the time off is paid and should not be deducted from the employee's sick or annual leave. While the provision quoted refers to protection that allows employees to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for family reasons including birth or family illness, this is typically referring to the Family and Medical Leave Act (FM_LA), which is a separate kind of leave than bereavement.
