 What
It Is
The Employee Assistance Program is a joint program of the Government of
Newfoundland and Labrador, The Newfoundland Association of Public
Employees, and the Public Sector Managers' Association.
What It Does
The purpose of the Program is to provide any employees in the
Newfoundland and Labrador Public Service with an opportunity to obtain
help for personal problems that are either affecting, or have the
potential to affect, work performance. Problems may be marital, family,
financial, emotional or those associated with substance abuse, or
gambling.
How It Works
Recognizing that a problem exists, an employee may seek assistance on
their own initiative by contacting one of the Co-ordinators of the
Employee Assistance Program. If work performance has deteriorated, the
supervisor may make the referral on behalf of the employee, if the
employee agrees to participate. The Co-ordinator will discuss with the
employee, the nature of the problem, and provide immediate counselling
if necessary, and/or refer the person to an outside helping agency.
