      <image:title>HR in the Loop - More Than a Policy: Understanding California's Bereavement Leave Requirements in 2026 - Losing a loved one is hard enough without also worrying about job security or lost pay.</image:title>
      <image:caption>California recognized that back in 2022, when it passed a law guaranteeing bereavement leave to most employees. Heading into 2026, that law is still the backbone of bereavement policy in the state — but HR teams should understand exactly how it works, where the gray areas are, and how to build a compliant, compassionate policy around it.</image:caption>

      <image:title>HR in the Loop - More Than a Policy: Understanding California's Bereavement Leave Requirements in 2026 - How Much Leave</image:title>
      <image:caption>Eligible employees are entitled to up to 5 days of bereavement leave per qualifying death. These days don't need to be consecutive, but they must be completed within three months of the date of death. If an employee experiences multiple deaths in close succession — say, two family members within a few months — they're entitled to leave for each qualifying death separately.</image:caption>

      <image:title>HR in the Loop - More Than a Policy: Understanding California's Bereavement Leave Requirements in 2026 - Documentation and Confidentiality</image:title>
      <image:caption>Employers can request documentation to support the leave, but the law limits what that can look like. Acceptable documentation includes things like: A death certificate A published obituary Burial or cremation records Written verification from a mortuary, funeral home, cemetery, government agency, religious institution, or a court Critically, any documentation an employee provides must be kept confidential and stored separately from the employee's regular personnel file — similar to medical leave records under CFRA.</image:caption>
