Prior to the initiation of the EAD, a meet and discuss at each University will be held for the purpose of developing a means of notifying all supervisory unit employees, and managers/supervisors of the program's outline and application. In those situations where it is believed that an employee has a problem with substance abuse, and that employee has not availed themselves of SEAP, University management may choose to discontinue use of the EAD with that employee. Under such situations, the local Union Representative and local campus representative will be notified in advance of the decision by University management. After the EAD becomes effective, either party may end their participation by notifying the other in writing of a desire to terminate. If said notification is given, this understanding will expire 30 calendar days after the date of notification. APPENDIX H
