It offers public employees up to three days of paid bereavement leave in instances of pregnancy loss, including miscarriage, stillbirth, termination, and loss incurred during fertility treatment.

According to OPB, Portland City Council members began looking to overhaul the city’s bereavement leave policy last summer after being informed that a number of employees didn’t feel represented or able to take leave under the old policy.

Isn't that what sick days are for? For being sick? Or do you not have to work and still get paid for mental illness? When Men were saying in yesteryear, when woman joined the workforce, that they wouldn't be able to hack it, they were right. No more paying people not to work unless it's the company choosing to do so.
