Now they don't count Grandparents under the bereavement policy, only immediate family.
Can they do that if they haven't updated staff who are still using the policy as they saw it?

Did she request leave fromher employer for bereavement? Was it approved prior to her leaving? If so she is entiled to the leave. If it wasn't approved by the employer she may have a problem.
