Losing a loved one can be a difficult time. Chipotle provides Funeral Leave to allow employees time to grieve and attend services for an immediate family member.
This page provides an overview of Funeral Leave. Eligibility and duration may vary based on your relationship to the individual and your specific circumstances.
Eligible employees may take paid leave to attend the funeral of an immediate family member.
Funeral Leave is generally paid for eligible employees for up to 3 days when attending the funeral of an immediate family member.
Let your manager know as soon as possible so your time away can be supported appropriately.
If you need more time than provided under Funeral Leave, you may be able to use available PTO or request additional unpaid leave with manager approval.
We're looking forward to seeing you back!
If you decide not to return to work during your approved leave, you should notify your manager or HRBP at least two weeks before your scheduled return date. If you do not return or attempt to return to work following the end of your leave, you will be considered to have voluntarily resigned as of your leave end date.
Grief and loss can impact your emotional well-being. Chipotle offers benefits that may provide support during this time:

Some states provide leave benefits you may be eligible to receive. If your leave involves a medical leave or FMLA request, our leave administration partner The Hartford may help identify whether state benefits apply and guide you on next steps.
If eligible, you may need to file a claim directly with your state. Chipotle leave benefits and state benefits may run at the same time and are coordinated so total payments do not exceed 100% of your pre-leave earnings.
