  Bereavement leave is a type of leave that is provided to employees in the event of the death of an immediate family member. It is typically provided in the form of paid time off, and the amount of time off varies depending on the company's policy. In SAP's Employee Central, bereavement leave is managed through the Leave of Absence (LOA) module. 
  
  How to use it:
