Compassionate leave, is employer BU?

[Penguinmode]

DH parent is ill in hospital and he has had to return to his home country to look after them. They are in intensive care and have been now for 3 weeks the outlook is not really know yet.

His employer has given 2 weeks paid compassionate leave and another emergency day, he also had annual leave to use so is taking this currently. They’ve now let us know that he will need to start taking unpaid leave soon. He can’t work from abroad.

WIBU here? DH thinks they should continue to pay the compassionate leave as we are going to struggle on one salary and he can’t leave his parent. But I think his employer has been pretty generous already although it’s going to leave us in a mess and I think he should think about returning home.

Some people at my work have taken sick leave "being stressed" (I know it's stressful but I am just saying it's obvious they used that to still be able to get full payment)when caring for terminal family members, one of them was off for months full pay as she was just getting a sick line every 2 weeks. It probably won't work for him if he is a road though, which is a shame.

ZOMBIE

I think 2 weeks is very kind and to move onto sick leave is taking the mickey
