CBS13 Investigates Bereavement Leave: The Fight For The Right To Grieve

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — While Californians are entitled to paid family leave to care for a sick family member, they lose any right to take even unpaid time off work to grieve once that family member dies.
California lawmakers have passed legislation mandating job-protected bereavement leave at least three times, but the bills have been repeatedly vetoed by two different governors. Advocates say bereavement leave is critical amid the pandemic, yet recent legislation failed again this year.
