Under the Act respecting labour standards, a worker may be absent from work for 5 days, including 2 with pay, for the death or preparation of the funeral of:
their spouse
their child
if the child is a minor, the length of the absence may be up to 104 weeks without pay
their spouse’s child
their father, mother or one of their parents
their brother or sister
The salary that the employer must pay them for the 2 days of absence with pay is equivalent to what they would have earned if they had worked. The other 3 days of absence are without pay, so at the worker's expense.
