I gotta ask. When you call your supervisor to notify her that you need some time off because there is a death in the family, should she not know how long you can take fo bereavement leave? Or at least offer to find out and call you back? "You will find out when you bring in the program/death announcement." SERIOUSLY??? Then she ends the call with "Have a nice day." Sure, I'm willing to be understanding that it was habit (or not, because I'm still pissed about it) but not after the supreme lack of proactiveness on her part. I also forgot to call in as I left yesterday and she said there was nothing to be done about that either. (Work assigns points for not coming in/calling out when you leave off schedule. Methinks I will be talking to *her* boss after I'm not in a rage.
Spoiler:I'm so sorry for your loss Suse...for you & your family.
Here in Aus, we get 3 days paid leave but only for immediate family...I'm not sure if that applies to step parents or siblings as I know it doesn't apply to aunts/uncles/cousins/nieces/nephews.
My boss was very understanding when my dad died. She never asked for proof of any kind. Mind you, I had just told her about my dad's situation just weeks prior to his death. And when I left early to rush to his hospital bed, I wasn't penalised/docked. I was very fortunate to have some very understanding co workers on duty at that time. Only hiccup was when my hubby forgot to call my work the next morning to tell them I wasn't going to be in...I had stayed with dad all through the previous night. So my supervisor had called my mobile. Thankfully my brother took the call & my supervisor was very understanding & sent her regards to the family.
I'm sorry you have an ass for a supervisor. I would certainly be discussing this with the big boss. I don't think anyone should have to deal with that kind of behaviour when grieving.

So sorry to hear the news. Sending big hugs your way. I agree the supervisor was insensitive.

I finally got my Dancing Trees dvd today!!
Have yet to start writing my Christmas cards so my sincerest apologies to those who may...and most likely will, recieve them late. Unfortunately it's just been one of those months where I can't get anything done & any spare time I've had, I've not used wisely enough. Sorry. I'll work on them tomorrow & Friday as I have an extremely busy weekend ahead with work & functions & shopping & advent...somebody slap me!"Live Peace - Speak Kindness - Dwell in Possibility"
