Department Update
The ongoing EAP (Employee Assistance Program) email campaign has been going well. Over the last few weeks, staff have reached out with questions after each email looking for additional information or assistance logging in so they can access and utilize the services highlighted that week. Year-to-date EAP utilization also continues to be higher than it was at this time last year.
I am also currently working with Marshall+Sterling to get the upcoming open enrollment process underway. I expect to have open enrollment dates finalized within the next week. Renewal pricing has been received for both dental and vision coverage. Vision rates will remain the same, while dental premiums will increase by 10%. Additional information will be shared with staff once dates are finalized.
Work has also begun on the annual Governmental Accounting Standards Board “GASB 75” project, including gathering the required employee and retiree information for reporting purposes. The target date for completion from our CPA (Certified Public Accountant) is October 23.
Annual sexual harassment prevention training will be pushed back slightly to July to accommodate the Youth Services Department’s busy schedule with school visits over the next few weeks. It will be completed through our EAP provider, as it has been for the last several years, to remain in compliance with New York State requirements. Training dates will be announced during Spring Staff Day on May 15th.
Additionally, I am also working with Adirondack Health and Wellness to schedule this Fall’s flu/COVID vaccine clinic for staff. I expect to have a finalized clinic date within the next week or so.
