Facebook extends bereavement policy

Facebook has expanded family leave paid bereavement and will provide up to six weeks to care for a sick family member, Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg said.


In a statement that combined personal and professional, Sandberg, who lost her husband Dave Goldberg in 2015, advocating public policies that make it easier for people to "take care of their children and for ageing parents and family to cry and heal after the loss.

Sandberg, who announced the transition to the Conference from the Builder to Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif., wrote in a Facebook post:

"In the midst of a nightmare of death Dave when I my kids more needed before, I am thankful every day to work for a company that offers flexibility and leaving the morning." It takes me a second to start my recovery. »

The extension came as several Silicon Valley companies are struggling to offer benefits to their employees.

New Facebook provides bereavement policy employees 20 days paid holiday cry for immediate family members and up to 10 days to cry for family members.

Employees will also be able to take up to six weeks of paid leave to care for ailing brother, and three days of paid leave to help a family member who suffers from the disease of short duration, as a child with the flu.

Family leave may be taken every 12 months.

Only 60% of workers in the private sector in the United States down time is paid after the death of a loved one, according to the Labor Department.

"People should be able both to work and to be there for their families. No one should face this compromise, "he writes.
