EAP is a job-based program designed:  To help employees in identifying and resolving personal problems that may affect their job performance and well-being.   To assist management in addressing productivity issues.   To promote installation work/life/wellness programs. Today’s workplace can be a challenge. The negative impact on individuals and the organization can be compounded when a unit has even one troubled employee. There is help in the form of the Employee Assistance Program (EAP). EAP is designed to help and assist civilian employees struggling with personal and job performance problems. EAP is available to provide advice and support on how to best handle employees in a caring and confidential manner. Although the EAP may be involved with employees in a variety of ways, it is not a substitute for the Civilian Personnel Advisory Center (CPAC). The EAP may collaborate with Human Resources (HR) professionals in helping employees, if it becomes necessary. This training is not only designed to inform you about the EAP, but also to provide you with helpful tools and resources. Please remember the EAP coordinator is a phone call away, and ready to assist you with personal issues or employee matters. The Civilian Personnel Advisory Center (CPAC) are the experts in personnel issues: AF CPAC is located at 149 Kubo Street, Building 126 & 127 on Fort Shafter. Please call for your questions on Labor/Employee Relations and Workers’ Compensation issues. For assistance with NAF CPAC call

12 Categories of Drug Testing and Testing Procedures
Applicant testing Random testing for Testing Designated Positions (TDP) Reasonable suspicion testing Accident or unsafe practice testing Voluntary testing Follow-up testing Starting in 2010, urinalysis will consist of a split sample: for further information go to Applicant testing. Some DA applicants tentatively selected for appointment are required to participate in applicant drug urinalysis testing, designed to screen out applicants who use illegal drugs. Random testing for DA civilian employees in Testing Designated Positions (TDPs) is accomplished by testing through out the year. Security clearances are pulled, if an employee tests positive on a drug test without a medical prescription clearing the situation. Some jobs require a security clearance for continued employment and the employer is NOT obligated to find the employee another job. Reasonable suspicion testing. If there is a reasonable suspicion that an employee uses illegal drugs, due to changes in work, behavior or criminal conviction. The supervisor would check with CPAC and Legal for guidance in requesting a reasonable suspicion test. Accident or unsafe practice testing. Employees may be subject to testing when, based on circumstances of the accident, their actions are reasonably suspected of having caused or contributed to an accident that results in a death or personal injury requiring immediate hospitalization or in damage to government property estimated in excess of $10,000. Supervisor should check with CPAC and Legal for guidance in a test for accident for unsafe practice. Voluntary testing. Voluntary testing is available for employees to demonstrate their commitment to the Army’s goal of a DFW and to set an example for other Federal/DA civilian employees. Volunteers are tested randomly with the rest of the testing pool. f. Follow–up testing. All DA civilian employees who test positive on a drug test are required to successfully complete a rehabilitation program. While employees are enrolled in rehabilitation for illegal drug use they may be subject to unannounced testing. Follow–up testing continues for 12 months after completion of a rehabilitation program. Employees are released from government employment, if they test positive a 2nd time on a drug test.
