To express the sympathy and support of Lutheran Senior Services towards our employees when a family member passes away, eligible staff may receive bereavement pay (rather than using PTO) to tend to their personal and family needs associated with their loss. The number of paid bereavement hours provided depends upon the employment classification of the employee and the specific relationship outlined below. The info below is for 2024; To see the updated info that will be available in 2025, click here.
