Bereavement leave is governed by company policy.  I've not done business or work in a state so far that "requires" leave for the death of a family member.  The "standard" most companies go by is 3days paid leave and up to two weeks total (being unpaid or using vacation for the rest).\n\nSome companies just allow 3 days but don't pay it, some allow one day, it's a company decsion.

Check their websites. Usually at the bottom of the page in small print it will say Policies and procedures.

Firstly, make sure that you are not losing a penny and that you are on full pay whilst suspended....if you are not then they are punishing you before they have concluded the investogation whist is unfair.\n\nAssuming you are on full pay, suspension is probably company procedure anyway especially when dealing with a 'people' complaint such as this - they can never be too careful.\n\nIf I were you, get hold of the Company policy on bullying/harassement (I'm not accusing you of anything but your colleague may class this as racial harassment, depsite what they have said to you) just so that you know what procedures your company are looking at. \n\nUK law-this would be an internal matter, and legal representation would not generally be allowed at this stage (unless you are a company director or could be damaging to your career - publically), you will be invited to an investigation meeting where you will be allowed representation from either a Trade Union Representative (if you are a member) or a fellow colleague. Make sure that you get everything in writing. On suspension, your employer should have given you a letter stating that you are suspended on full pay pending investigation and stating the exact allegations that have been made against you. At the investigation meeting, take someone with you, a fellow colleage or Trade Union rep, to take notes during the meeting. It will also keep your employer on their toes, especially if they know that you made a complaint a few days before. During the meeting, you will be given the opportunity to read any statements or letters/evidence that they have against you, and make sure you take copies - its your right. \n\nI would also question what they have done about your complaint that you made a few days before....why have they taken your colleagues complaint seriously and suspended you whilst appears to have ignored your complaint. Whether or not you consider your complaint to be unofficial, you employer HAS to take you seriously and should be treating your complaint in the same way as anyone else. If it appears that your complaint has been overlooked then you have every right to say that you have been discriminated against on the grounds of Race - this means that you have been adversley treated because of your race, in other words...because you are not Asian, your unofficial complaint has been ignored.\n\nOther than that, just make sure that your employer follows the correct procedure....there are very strict rules stating the procedure for investigation....and if it gets that far....discipline. Just make sure you are invited to a meeting where you are given at least 24 hours to prepare for, you are given the right to be accompanied, and you have the right to appeal against any decision. Also, although it sounds obvious, make sure that you are very clear on exactly what you are being accused of. Once the internal procedure has been exhausted, then you can go external and consider legal representation, but I really hope it doesnt get that far...

emotional instability, "leave of absence" situations\n\ncheck with your employee handbook or boss, cause it really depends on your job.

I actually work in the scheduling department at my company, so I know a bit about this.  In answer to your question ... it's always best to give as much notice as possible, as there is paperwork that you need to fill out with your Human Resources department.\n\nOf course, in cases of dire emergencies, it's actually possible to get that paperwork filled out retroactively ... that is to say, after the fact.\n\nStill, though, don't rely on that ... there's almost no good reason to wait, and many reasons to just get the beauracratic parts of the process out of the way.  You'll be doing yourself a big favor, and your employer as well, by giving him/her/the company time to prepare for your absences.

Talk to someone in HR regarding your question. \n\nIt depends on the policies of the company you work with.

Nothing like the simple truth: "you need a few days off". Be assertive, it´s your vacation time.

Depends on the company policy and the laws of the state you are employed in.  But yeah, in many circumstances, he can totally fire you for being late even just once or twice, as long as he is consistant and would fire anyone else who was late as well.

Some companies will provide "comp time" if you work extra hours in advance.  Other that that, you would have to negotiate for more time.

Go to your state gov site (ie NY, MA, CA etc...) and then look into labor laws for national holidays.

Fashionably late is 45 minutes for me.\n\nI try to be on time, though.  Some people see tardiness as disrespect.

at where i use to work, we had a time clock summary report that would print out each morning and the opening manager had to file it. it would list every employee that worked the day before, when they clocked in and out, and how long they worked. if they clocked early or late, it included those hours, though managers could go back and change it if they needed to. though each business is different, so i dont knw about where you work at.

Employees should be treated with dignity and have the right to keep their personal lives separate from their business lives.\n\nDemanding information about taking sick leave is one of the more sensitive areas.\n\nEmployees should be made aware that use of emails within the company server and phone calls using the company phone system are not private.  They shouldn't find out the hard way.
