Leave - if baby did not survive - eligible for Paternity leave or Bereavement leave or for both leaves?

Dear Respected All,

I want to know that if any employee became a parent but unfortunately his/her baby is no more in the world then the employee is eligible for Paternity leave or Bereavement leave or for both leaves.

Please help me out

It depends upon the company. Naturally if a company is granting paternity leave and bereavement leaves which are not mandatory leaves as per any law in force, the company should extent it even if the new born baby is not alive. The former being a leave to take care of once's wife it shall be given since delivery has happened and she needs care by her husband. The latter being a leave when a close relative dies, the same should be given since the employee's own baby has died. The purpose of this leave should be combined with paternity leave in this case because the wife should be given support both physically and mentally.
