Employee Assistance Program and Rehabilitation. If an employee suspects he or she may have a drug, alcohol or substance abuse problem, he or she is encouraged to seek treatment before becoming involved in an incident that may lead to drug and alcohol testing or disciplinary action. Dependence on drugs, alcohol and/or other substances or participating in a rehabilitation program will not protect an employee from disciplinary action for unacceptable performance, continued abuse or from a policy violation that occurred before the employee seeks assistance. Employees are provided with professional counseling and medical referrals through The Sacramento Bee's Employee Assistance Plan (EAP) and through its Behavioral Health Care Plan. All information regarding referrals, evaluation and treatment of an employee who participates in an assistance program will be maintained in a private and confidential manner. Employees who wish to voluntarily enter and participate in an approved drug or alcohol rehabilitation program are encouraged to contact the Human Resources Director. The Human Resources Director will determine whether The Sacramento Bee can accommodate the employee by providing unpaid leave for the time necessary to complete participation in the program.

Employee Assistance Program and Rehabilitation. Because substance abuse is an impairment that can threaten the well being of our patients, employees and community, Sunnyside Community Hospital provides channels of assistance through an Employee Assistance Program (EAP). The EAP, an integral part of the hospital's DRUG-FREE workplace program, provides confidential assessment and referral to employees and their immediate family at no cost to the employee.
