Nanny paid leave for funeral

[Lunarskybox]

How much paid time off would be appropriate for our nanny to attend a relative's funeral (an uncle, not parent or sibling). She has asked for two days paid leave. She works 4 days a week.

I'd give her the two days. It's the right thing to do. If she's separately unreliable or pushes her luck, then deal with that separately not by leaving her out-of-pocket because her uncle happens to have died.

Does she not have any leave left? I'm a civil servant but for an uncle we'd have to take annual leave or unpaid. I was only allowed a day for my aunt as we were also neighbours and I'd helped out while she was dying.

I'd offer 1 day paid and then anything else annual leave.
