Voluntary Referral. The Union and the Employer agree to the earliest possible utilization of the Employee and Family Assistance Program on a voluntary basis for an employee showing indications of a personal problem which may affect job performance. Any employee who feels he/she has such a problem is encouraged to seek help, either through Employee and Family Assistance Program channels or privately. Any decision on the part of the employee to seek help will not interfere with his/her position or employment. Confidentiality will be maintained at all times.
Voluntary Referral. A. Employee Assistance Program Employees who voluntarily seek treatment for substance abuse in an Employee Assistance Program shall notify either their supervisor, the Union or the Employee Assistance Program Coordinator of their desire to participate in the program. In the event the employee notifies the Union and/or the EAP Coordinator, the Union and/or the EAP Coordinator shall immediately notify and meet with the Director of Human Resources. If the employee notifies his/her supervisor directly, the supervisor shall notify the Union or the EAP Coordinator who shall immediately meet with the Director of Human Resources.
Voluntary Referral. 1) Any employee, who feels that he has developed an addiction to, dependence upon, or problem with alcohol or drugs, legal or illegal, is encouraged to seek assistance through a certified substance abuse professional (SAP), who is supervised by a licensed physician. No employee will be disciplined on account of any request for assistance, nor will any employee be disciplined as a result of any information disclosed by the employee during his efforts to enter or participate in substance abuse treatment. Confidentiality will be maintained between the individual seeking help, the SAP, and the supervising licensed physician.
Voluntary Referral. (i) If any Employee experiences a problem and volunteers this information, assistance shall be given in obtaining treatment from a substance abuse treatment provider.
Voluntary Referral. It is specifically agreed that no employee shall be disciplined where the employee noti- fies the Employer that he has a problem with drug or alcohol use, and voluntarily seeks assistance prior to initiation of an investigation of suspected drug or alcohol abuse by the employee or pending discipline. Such employees shall be referred by the manage- rial employee who is notified to the City’s Employee Assistance Program for confidential counseling and treatment. Such voluntary participation shall not confer immunity from discipline, for any miscon- duct attendant to the substance abuse. The managerial employee shall not divulge any information received from the employee who voluntarily seeks the help of the Employee Assistance Program, except on a strict need to know basis. Such voluntary referral to the Employee Assistance Program, however, does not relieve the employee from the responsibility to adequately perform their job. In addition, voluntary submittal does not eliminate the employee from the requirements to take required drug or alcohol tests as described in this Article.
Voluntary Referral. 1) The employee may approach the Committee on his/her own. Any such inquiry will be kept in confidence.
