FY22 defense bill gives feds parental bereavement leave, makes changes at the Pentagon (Jessie Bur, Defense News)

December 16, 2021

Federal employees that experience the death of a child will now be guaranteed two weeks of paid leave set aside specifically for that bereavement, under the fiscal 2022 National Defense Authorization Act that passed the Senate on Dec. 15.

Original language in the House version of the bill would have granted federal employees the opportunity to use the recently authorized paid parental leave — which covers 12 weeks of time away from work — to grieve the death of a child. But the conference between both chambers of Congress resulted in a separate bereavement entitlement that covers only two weeks.
