Thank you for your review of Connection and recognizing the generous vacation benefits and tuition reimbursement benefits. Connection provides excellent medical benefits and picks up approximately 75% of the cost of associated medical care expenditures. Relative to bereavement, our benefit far surpasses most companies. In the event of a death in an employee’s immediate family, a leave of absence of up to 5 days will be granted. Most companies only provide 3 days. Also we have a far more liberal definition of Immediate family to include:
Spouse
Domestic/civil partner
Children, stepchildren, foster children
Parents and stepparents
Grandparents and grandchildren
Siblings
For non-immediate family members, three (3) days will be granted, and one (1) day will be granted for all other relationships far more generous than most companies.
