- if a child who would have been part of the employee's immediate family or household, is stillborn, or
- if an employee, or the employee's current spouse or de facto partner, has a miscarriage. An employee may take compassionate leave for each occasion as:
- a single continuous 2-day period, or
- 2 separate periods of one day each, or
