BACKGROUND: The primary purposes of the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) are 1) to enhance existing health and safety programs to Orange County employees, 2) to strengthen Orange County's compliance with the Drug Free Workplace Act of 1988 and 3) to position Orange County for more vigorous management of health care costs. Human Affairs International provides Orange County employees with face to face assessment and counseling services; 24 hour a day emergency service; referral to community resources as needed; coverage for any personal problem and follow -up on all cases. The Employee Assistance Program Contract was initially approved by the Board of Commissioners in February 1990. The attached contract addendum proposes a continuation of the current contract while incorporating a contract amendment recommended by the County Attorney. The amendment does not affect the level or type of service provided by Human Affairs. The contract continuation is at the same cost as the current contract. RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends the Board approve continuation of the Employee Assistance Program contract for the period July 1, 1991 through June 30, 1992 and authorize the Board Chair to sign the Contract Addendum.
