What does your company actually say when an employee loses someone? Too many handbooks leave that answer vague, and a grieving person should never have to guess how much time they can take. The Bereavement Policy tool drafts a clear, humane policy that spells out leave, eligibility and process before anyone needs it.
You describe your company and how you want to handle bereavement leave, and the tool writes a policy you can review, adapt and add to your handbook.
Short answer: The Bereavement Policy tool drafts a clear, compassionate leave policy covering who qualifies, how much time is granted and how to request it, giving HR teams a professional document they can tailor and drop into the employee handbook.
What is Bereavement Policy?
The Bereavement Policy tool is a free AI writer that produces a company policy for time off after a death in an employee's life. It covers the parts that matter: who is eligible, how many days are offered, which relationships are recognised, and how a person requests leave.
You set the tone and structure, then generate. It is a starting document, not legal advice, so your HR and legal teams should always review it against local law before you publish it.
Written with care
An empathetic tone keeps the language warm and human, not cold.
Covers the essentials
Eligibility, leave length, recognised relationships and the request process in one place.
Shaped to you
Set the detail level and format to match the rest of your handbook.
Why a Written Policy Matters When Grief Hits
Without a policy, bereavement leave becomes a case by case negotiation at the worst possible time. A written policy sets one clear standard, so a grieving employee knows their rights and a manager knows exactly what to offer.
It also protects the company, reducing the risk of unfair treatment claims and signalling that you handle loss with respect.
Tip Turn on Include Examples so the draft names recognised relationships and sample leave lengths. Concrete detail is what makes a policy usable rather than aspirational.
How Does Bereavement Policy Work?
The tool shares the standard EizTools interface, so it is quick to learn. Type your requirements into the prompt box, pick an AI model family such as GPT, Claude, Gemini or Llama, then open the advanced options accordion to set the voice and shape of the document.
Press Generate and the policy appears in the output card with a live word count and read time. You can Copy or Share it, tap Listen to hear it read back, or Download as TXT, Word or HTML for your handbook. The activity history panel holds earlier drafts so you can compare wordings.
| Option | What it controls | Suggested starting point |
|---|---|---|
| Tone | The emotional register of the writing | Empathetic |
| Writing Style | How the policy reads and flows | Instructional |
| Output Format | How the document is laid out | Structured Sections |
| Target Audience | Who the policy is written for | General |
Extra toggles let you Include Tips, switch on Use Markdown Formatting or turn on Be Concise for a tighter draft. The Detail Level slider sets how thorough the policy gets, and Custom Instructions is where you add your leave amounts, recognised relationships or any local rules to reflect.
What A Solid Draft Should Cover
A complete bereavement policy answers the questions people ask in a crisis. Use the list below to check your generated draft:
- Who qualifies, from full time staff to part time and probationary employees.
- How many days of leave are granted, and whether they are paid.
- Which relationships are recognised, including chosen family.
- How to request leave, and whether extra unpaid time is available.
EizTools is a free set of AI writing tools that run in your browser with no account needed. You pick the model family, generate a draft, then export it in the format you want. When this policy is set, keep the rest of your handbook consistent with the HR policy builder, which drafts your other core policies in the same clear voice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this policy legally compliant?
It is a starting draft, not legal advice. Bereavement rules vary by country and region, so have your HR and legal teams check the wording against local law before you publish it.
Can I set our own number of leave days?
Yes. Add your leave amounts and any paid or unpaid split to Custom Instructions, and the draft builds the policy around the figures you actually offer.
Does it cover chosen family and close friends?
It can. Name the relationships you want recognised in Custom Instructions, and the policy includes them rather than defaulting to immediate family only.
How do I add this to our handbook?
Download the policy as Word or HTML, then paste it into your handbook and match the heading style. The Structured Sections format makes that step clean.
Open the Bereavement Policy tool above, describe your company and set an empathetic tone. In a minute you will have a respectful, ready to review draft you can take to your team.
