member or the date on which an event listed under paragraph (4)
of subsection (a) occurs child.
    (c) An employee shall provide the employer with at least
48 hours' advance notice of the employee's intention to take
bereavement leave, unless providing such notice is not
reasonable and practicable.
    (d) An employer may, but is not required to, require
reasonable documentation. Documentation may include a death
certificate, a published obituary, or written verification of
death, burial, or memorial services from a mortuary, funeral
home, burial society, crematorium, religious institution, or

subsection (a). The employer may not require that the employee
identify which category of event the leave pertains to as a
condition of exercising rights under this Act.
    (e) In the event of the death of more than one covered
family member child in a 12-month period, an employee is
entitled to up to a total of 6 weeks of bereavement leave
during the 12-month period. This Act does not create a right
for an employee to take unpaid leave that exceeds the unpaid
leave time allowed under, or is in addition to the unpaid leave
time permitted by, the federal Family and Medical Leave Act of
