The following benefit programs are available to eligible employees:

* Auto Mileage

* Bereavement Leave

Although some benefit programs may require contributions from employees, most benefit programs are fully paid by Lakeland. The benefit package for regular full-time employees represents a significant additional cost to Lakeland.
