I’ve had a look at the handy [pinned post on bereavement leave](https://tw.forumosa.com/t/death-benefit-labor-insurance-vs-bereavement-leave/88987) and the associated laws, but they all talk about a spouse’s parent and I’m not married to my girlfriend.

Has anyone had experience with a case like this? I have OT compensation hours and a bit of 事假 or other leave to let me attend the funeral, but I think it would be nice to hold onto that if I can actually take a day or two of 喪假.

Thanks!

Unfortunately bo, you are not eligible for bereavement leave as you are married.  
The best you can do is use some of your paid leave.
