Which family member is not classified as "immediate family" under the Funeral leave policy?

The concept of "immediate family" typically refers to those family members who are closely related and whose death may significantly impact an individual's emotional and psychological well-being. In the context of the Funeral leave policy, immediate family usually includes parents, siblings, children, and sometimes includes spouses and grandparents.

In this particular case, an uncle is not classified as immediate family under the Funeral leave policy because he is a more distant family relation compared to a brother or sister, who are direct siblings. The same goes for an aunt; while she is certainly a family member, she does not fall within the closer immediate family definition that usually pertains to direct support systems in times of loss.

By recognizing that aunts and uncles are more extended relatives, it's clear why the uncle was the right choice for classification as not being part of the immediate family for the purpose of this specific policy.
