An employee is entitled to three days of paid bereavement leave following the end of the employee’s pregnancy by way of miscarriage or stillbirth. An employee is entitled to three days of paid bereavement leave following the end of another individual’s pregnancy by way of miscarriage or stillbirth if the employee is the individual’s spouse or partner or former spouse or partner and the employee would have been a biological parent of a child born as a result of the pregnancy. For purposes of this Section, “miscarriage” means the spontaneous or accidental loss of a fetus, regardless of gestational age or the duration of the pregnancy. The provisions of this Section are intended to comply with State law requirements set forth in Utah Code § 10-3-1103.
