If one of your loved ones died yesterday, would you have the courage to face those multitudes of papers on your desk or talk straight and cheerfully to your employer’s client? Every employer should understand the emotional struggle his or her employee is suffering in this most trying times. That is why the Civil Right Act Bereavement Leave Laws are drafted to give the employee the right to take absence during his/her bereavement period. This right of leave should be paid and no deduction should be made on the employee’s salary or wages. The Civil Right Act Bereavement Laws allow an employee to a leave of three to five days of work to grieve the lost of a loved one. The law is created for humanitarian purposes and to protect the rights of workers from discrimination. During the 1960’s there exist a rampant racial discrimination especially in the workplace and employees that are of different race is not protected from the acquisition of his or her benefits. To create equal opportunity for benefits among the laborers and workers, the Civil Rights is enhanced especially the right for bereavement leaves among other important benefits as well.
The Civil Right Act Bereavement Leave Laws does not only symbolizes the government effort to neutralize the racial discrimination present in the workplace but also urges large companies and businesses to show concern and love to the most precious resources of all: the human resource. In the absence of care and concern, the employee might feel slighted and unimportant and may not be able to do his or her job very well in the future.
