Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
Applies To: All Regular Employees
RIT recognizes that certain factors may interfere with an employee's effective performance, including attendance. These problems may be caused by physical or psychological illness, alcohol or drug abuse, family concerns or financial problems. The Health Association's Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is RIT's partner for assistance and is designed as a confidential resource available to employees.
