Dear [Employer's Name],
Subject: Request for Reconsideration of Family Responsibility Leave
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally dispute the decision to deny me family responsibility leave following the death of my sister, as per the Basic Conditions of Employment Act (BCEA) Section *.
I understand that my sister and I had different surnames, which may have caused confusion regarding our relationship. To clarify, we shared the same mother but had different fathers, resulting in different surnames. I have attached a copy of my mother's identity document, which shows the shared surname with my sister, to prove our sibling relationship.
Under the BCEA, family responsibility leave includes the death of an immediate family member, such as a sibling. Therefore, I believe I am entitled to this leave. I respectfully request that you reconsider your decision based on the provided documentation and allow me the leave as stipulated by law.
Thank you for your understanding and consideration. I look forward to your prompt response.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
