Time

Employees may schedule appointments to meet with the EAP counselor during regular work time. To do so, it is necessary to first arrange with their supervisor for their time away from their workstation or post. Supervisors and employees will make every reasonable effort to schedule appointments at times compatible with the needs of the work unit. Employees will not be required to use accrued leave for the purpose of attending these meetings. Work time attendance does require the employee to sign a release of information with EAP so that documentation of attendance can be provided to the supervisor. Employees may also meet with an EAP counselor on their own time (non-work, vacation, or sick leave). Counselors are available evening and weekend hours in some locations.
