Creates provisions relating to employee bereavement leave for the loss of a pet

Summary

The bill requires any Missouri employer with ten or more employees to give workers a minimum of three days off when a pet dies, with at least one of those days paid. Employers may ask for reasonable proof of the pet’s death and cannot punish employees for taking the leave. The measure was referred to the Emerging Issues committee and ultimately failed.
