when a spouse dies how much bereavement leave are you entitled to from your employer in the united kingdom?

There isn't a legal entitlement so you get all sorts of inconsistencies. Most good employers would give you sometime off but would expect you to put in a sick-note for more than a few days. There are advantages to this as anyone who has lost their partner is going to be very upset and unable to work.\nWhen my mother died my GP gave me a sick-note for 3 weeks due to stress and anxiety; a lot of that was caused by the attitude of my line manager at the time.\nWhen my father-in-law died I was given 5 days but my husband only 3. This was because my manager was more sympathetic.

When someone dies intestate it can be a mess, particularly if there are children involved. In general, if there are children, the spouse is entitled by law to 33% of the proceeds, while the children can claim the remaining 66%. However it all depends on the situation. The link below provides more information.

Well that's up to the kids. Do you mean as far as a burial or cremation? I mean what are you asking? If the person had nothing when they died there is nothing for the kids to get but debt when they bury them. If the Kids don't want to do that the state will put them in a paupers grave some place.

This will depend on the tenancy agreement and country - laws in Scotland are slightly different from England.\n\nFor England the contract (shorthold agreement) would normally be for a fixed term.  I am assuming both tenants have signed this contract.  If one leaves then there would have to be a supplementary agreement signed by all contracted parties to remove and liabilities or obligations of the departing tenant.  The remaining tenant would then assume all responsibilities under the contract terms.  \n\nAlternatively, and what i would suggest, is a new contract is set up with the remaining tenant - if everyone is in agreement with this approach.  \n\nGood luck.

Depending on what branch of service the recently deceased is from, usually that is set up by them. If you have to do it yourself get a hold of the persons supervisor or who ever they worked closely with. Also make sure that the will doesnt state not to have a military funeral as it is punishable by law to break the will of a military deseased.

In the event of a death - his funds should be frozen for a period of time.  Your cheque should be honoured but it may be delayed.  If you can wait for your money - it would be very considerate of you since the widow will now have a million things to deal with regarding her late husband (funeral, casket, headstone, etc...) let alone finding the time to be in mourning.\n\nIf your able to speak with the wife - bring it up after everything has settled (maybe after the holidays...)\n\nSorry for your loss

I can't tell if you are in the UK, scotland, NZ, Australia or Canada because of your use of British English.  But the answer would probably be the same.  You, or your boyfriend can call the nearest government office and ask the same question.  \n\nAlso,  how have other staff member's holidays been handled?  Are they required to do the same? Surely the law in your country would require that the policy for one would be the same for others.  Does he have the time coming to him; has he accrued enough vacation time?  Sometimes sthe policy requires you to work a certain number of months before you can go on a vacation.  Also, if it is the busy time of the year for the place he works, the establishment may have a policy that says something like that.  THere should be a written policy, and your bf should ask to see it.  THen, he should check with the department of labor or his union.  But, he may not want to make a fuss at his job unless he is really good and they would be wont to lose him.  Employers tend to remember when an employee turns them in.

Every state's laws are different; and, every company's policies are different. In most cases if you are terminated you are entitled to receive the number of hours of accrued vacation. This must be paid with your final paycheck.

Depends upon the state law where he died, and possibly where he was domiciled.  Generally the estranged spouse still gets a share as they are still married.\n\nSome possibilities:  2/2 rule.  Spouse gets half.  Children share remaining 1/2 (each gets 1/6)\n\n1/3, 2/3 rule.  Spouse gets 1/3.  Children share remaining 2/3 (each gets 2/9)\n\nAny jointly held property with right of survivorship passes to joint owner at moment of death and is excluded from division amongst other heirs.\n\nFirst wife gets nothing, but may be designated as custodian for childrens' shares.\n\nUltimately the courts will decide.
