Effective July 2001, Construction Labour Relations – Alberta was pleased to launch the first industry-wide Employee and Family Assistance Program benefit for the unionized construction industry. CEFAP is funded by Employer remittances on a per hour worked basis for all trades employed pursuant to the terms of the collective agreements negotiated by CLRa.
Human Solutions is our benefit services provider. Human Solutions provides counseling and guidance for a broad range of personal issues which may be causing distress. These may include marital or family problems, relationship problems/conflicts, stress, depression, financial and legal difficulties, problems with alcohol or drug use or gambling. For a complete list of professional services please refer to: Description of Professional Services
A unique feature of this plan is that CEFAP will pay a portion of the cost for an eligible employee (or family dependent) to attend an approved clinical rehabilitation program to deal with an alcohol or drug problem. For example, in Alberta, this will cover fees to attend most AADAC residential treatment programs for up to six weeks. Human Solutions, the employee, and the treatment center, work together to determine the need to participate in clinical rehabilitation. Critical Incident Stress Debriefing One of the key benefits available through Human Solutions is Critical Incident Stress Debriefing. Should an unfortunate worksite critical incident occur, Human Solutions has a team of specialists available to come to a worksite to assist people in dealing with the stressful impact of a critical incident. Orientation Workshops Human Solutions has available a brief orientation to their Employee and Family Assistance Plan services. This workshop is designed to inform jobsite supervisors and job stewards about the workings of the plan and the range of benefits available. The workshop can be delivered at a project site or other contractor facilities. We have seen this orientation workshop delivered and the information was well received. It can be delivered in about 45 minutes to one hour including time to address questions. Please call our offices to make arrangements. For determination of eligibility and access to the plan please contact: Human Solutions
