Last Saturday, my grandmother passed away. It really makes me sad and I will not doing my best work when I return to work. I had to help with all the funeral arrangements, and it tires me. Also, I'm still mourning her death.
So, I would like to apply for bereavement leave for three days. I tried to message to my manager to apply for bereavement leave but he stated that I'm not eligible to apply. He mentions that the bereavement leave is only for the death of parents and siblings. I need to apply for my emergency leave instead but not bereavement leave.
As I know, isn't bereavement leave cover for all family deaths?

..so you are saying your manager is wrong..question is, are you sure? Why don't you check with someone else, someone from HR department, about whether there is any policy about the same? Whatever answer we provide here would not be authentic. It's not about fair or unfair, it's about what's in the agreement and company policy. – Sourav Ghosh Mar 19 at 9:17
