What happens after the Deputy Chief advises a member of the testing referral decision?

When the Deputy Chief advises a member of the testing referral decision, a notification is sent to the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) Coordinator. This step is crucial as it ensures that the member receives the necessary support and resources available through the EAP. The EAP Coordinator plays a key role in providing confidential assistance, which may include counseling or other services, to help the employee cope with any issues that may have led to the referral for testing.

The process emphasizes the importance of support for the member's well-being and operational readiness, reinforcing the organization's commitment to aiding employees in managing personal or professional challenges that can impact their performance.
