No it is not illegal. If you requested a day off according to your employer's rules, they reason you take the day off is irrelevant. If you didn't have the time to take or didn't follow procedues, your employer could terminate you for violating work rules. There's nothing in PA law that guarantees a worker the right to take time off from work for a death in the family.
