PAP.9.7.160 Employee Assistance Program

The Gaming Enterprises recognizes that Team Members may develop personal, psychological, and medical problems which could have negative effects on job performance. The Gaming Enterprises offers an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for all team members and may schedule an appointment with the Human Resource Manager, or designee during work hours. If the EAP appointment is at another facility, the team member may use unpaid leave for EAP absences. EAP provides referrals to local community treatment sources and all visits are held in confidence. EAP appointments will be coordinated with the team member's supervisor, using the chain-in-command policy, so customer service does not get interrupted. Participation in EAP does not excuse team members from complying with the provisions of this ordinance or from meeting normal job requirements during or after receiving assistance. Nor will participation in our EAP prevent the Gaming Enterprises from taking disciplinary action against any team member for performance problems that occur before or after the team member's seeking assistance through the program. Team Members interested in learning more about EAP are encouraged to contact the Human Resources Director or designee.

(a) The Gaming Enterprises offer referral to an Employee Assistance Program or other appropriate services and rehabilitation programs pursuant to Section PAP.9.11.080 of this manual, which emphasize education, prevention, counseling and treatment to team members when personal concerns arise which may impact the team members' work performance or the employer's operations. These concerns include alcohol, illegal drug, or prescribed medication abuse; individual psychological problems; marital, family or child difficulties; work stress; and financial or legal matters.
