Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

Scope

This program applies to all regular employees.

 

Policy Statement

All regular employees are eligible for the RIT's Employee Assistance Program (EAP). The employee's spouse/partner and eligible children are also covered under the EAP.

Personal issues, planning for life events or simply managing daily life can affect your work, health and family. The EAP is confidential and provided at no charge to eligible employees. RIT offers this benefit, through GuidanceResources®, as part of the employee benefits program. Benefits of the EAP include the following:

  • Confidential Counseling
  • Financial Information and Resources
  • Legal Support and Resources
  • Work-Life Solutions
  • GuidanceResources® Online

For a short summary of each of these areas of service, refer to the one-page flyer; for a more detailed summary, refer to the Summary Plan Description.

Managers, with approval from Human Resources, may recommend an employee’s participation in the EAP to address unacceptable employee performance or behavior.
