Lutheran Life Communities, a not-for-profit system of continuing care retirement communities and senior services, has partnered with DailyPay—the provider of on-demand pay—as part of its effort “to continuously reciprocate support and care for its healthcare team members.”
The decision to implement the on-demand pay benefit “results from the organization’s ongoing dedication to addressing its team member needs.”
Headquartered in Arlington Heights, Illinois, Lutheran Life Communities continues to advance its mission and dedication to its team members “through innovative changes to boost morale and retention.” This innovation also “supports hiring and retention as the healthcare industry continues to struggle with workforce and labor shortages.”
Paul Rauseo, Vice President of HR and Strategy at Lutheran Life Communities, said:
“In the modern business landscape, team members expect to be treated with respect, to be paid equitably, to trust and be cared for by the people they work with–despite the healthcare disruption and economic stressors. Access to paychecks in real time is now the new norm.”
A Harris Poll survey commissioned by IntelyCare and DailyPay “found that 65% of healthcare workers say their household typically lives paycheck-to-paycheck.”
Sloan Bentley, CEO at Lutheran Life Communities, said:
“In reviewing data and listening tours, we see that 403b withdrawals are up year over year and applications to company care programs continue to grow. Team members have requested and are in favor of additional programs like DailyPay to meet changing needs.”
Since implementing DailyPay in January 2023, Lutheran Life Communities has been able to put “over $46,115 in the hands of its team members through on-demand pay transfers.”
The power of choice and control “over earned pay enables Lutheran Life Communities team members to pay bills on time, save, spend and access hard-earned monies on demand.”
Based in Arlington Heights, Illinois, Lutheran Life Communities is “a not-for-profit senior living organization offering residential living, assisted living, memory support, residential healthcare and rehabilitation.”
Additional services “include adult day programs, home care, move management and childcare.”
Founded in 1892, the organization has “grown to four communities in Illinois and Indiana, serving more than 1100 residents and just under 1000 team members.”
