EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (POLICY)
PHILOSOPHY
Various social, family, and personal problems, including the abuse of alcohol and/or drugs, can be an
obstacle to the development of individual students, staff, and others. These problems may be major
contributors to poor work performance, absenteeism, communication problems, physical and mental health
concerns, and poor self-concept. These difficulties affect individuals regardless of culture, age,
socio-economic status, education, or religious affiliation. These difficulties can be addressed
successfully. The troubled employee's behavior affects friends, family, coworkers, and self, and therefore
supports the provision of a comprehensive approach to intervention.
To this end, OLC will maintain an Employee Assistance Program to assist individuals who may experience
difficulties including their own or a family member's alcohol and/or drug abuse. The goal of this program
is to prevent dismissal of an employee due to alcohol or drug abuse, or other personal issues.
