Cost
of the EAP
The
company pays 100% of the cost of the EAP services. There are
no charges for the employee and or their eligible family members
to use the EAP services. Ignoring a serious family problem
is costly, measured in emotional drain, time and money. The
key functions of the EAP is to provide short-term counseling,
crisis management, and to serve as a bridge between the troubled
employee and public and private resources for longer term
needs. The right help, at the right time, can be a good investment.
If
an outside referral is determined to be appropriate by the
EAP staff, every effort will be made to find the best resources
at the lowest cost to the client. There may charges should
you be referred to and choose to utilize the services of external
professional resources. Certain costs may be offset, at least
partially, by other employee benefits programs.
The EAP does not arrange for loans to assist with financial
problems. Nor is the EAP designed to help with job related
issues such as raises, promotions or transfers.
