Leaves

Levitate offers bereavement, parental, STD/LTD, and other leaves (personal, voting, FMLA, Jury Duty, etc.)

Bereavement

Real Magic provides between three to five days off with pay to full-time salaried employees who are regularly scheduled to work more than 30 hours per week to mourn, as well as handle matters related to a death in the family.


Relationship- Immediate Family Member: spouse, parent, sibling and child

  • Any missed workdays (up to 40 hours) that happen to fall within five consecutive calendar days of the death or funeral of immediate family members may be used as Bereavement Leave.
  • A maximum of five consecutive calendar days may be taken at the staff member's convenience as long as one of the days includes either the day of death or the day of the funeral.

Note: For purposes of this policy, parent and child also includes step-parent, step-sibling, step-child, an adopted child and a child for whom the staff member was a legal guardian.


Relationship- Other Family Member: 
grandparent, aunt, uncle, great-grandparent, in-laws

  • Any missed workdays (up to 24 hours) that happen to fall within three consecutive calendar days of the death or funeral of other family members may be used as Bereavement Leave.
