To be eligible for paid bereavement leave, employees are expected to notify their supervisors at
the earliest opportunity so that the supervisor can try to arrange coverage for the employee's
absence.

9.9.1 Eligibility
All regular full time and part-time employees are eligible for bereavement leave beginning on
their date of hire.

9.9.2 Length of Absence
Eligible employees may take up to three (3) bereavement days for immediate family and one (1)
bereavement day for extended family.

9.9.3 Compensation
A regular full-time employee will receive full pay for bereavement leave days for attending the
funeral of an immediate or extended family member. Regular part-time employees will be paid
on a prorated basis in accordance with the hours they work. Bereavement leave should be
coordinated with the employee’s Supervisor.

9.9.4 Additional Days Beyond Bereavement Leave
Additional days beyond the bereavement leave days may be charged to annual leave or leave
without pay and must be coordinated with the employee’s Supervisor and approved in advance.
nSI understands the deep impact that death can have on an individual and a family, therefore
additional unpaid time off may be granted at the Company's discretion. Such arrangements must
be approved by the employee's supervisor.

9.9.5 Procedure
The Supervisor will inform the Human Resources Manager that the employee is eligible for
bereavement leave. The Human Resources Manager will inform Payroll to add bereavement
leave to the employee’s timecard. The employee will enter the applicable hours under
"Bereavement Leave" on their timecard.
