At some point the person would probably be given the option of taking time off with a unpaid portion.
I think even bereavement leave in most benefits packages is only a few days.

You're probably right, maybe that was a bad example but I was just trying to say that there are probably many reasons that people might require a little flexibility in their work schedule. And I'd imagine that most companies would try to be accomodating, within reason, because they'd want their employees to be happy.
Personally I don't see what the big issue is with coming in half an hour later, as long as the woman make up the time or doesn't get paid for that time.
