Region Aids "Probi cm Employees" By conservative estîmates, the Durham Region could be losing up to $90,000 per year due to "problem employees. " Problem employees are persons suffering from such difficulties as mental illness, drug problems (including alcoholfism), and emotional distress. A report from the Durham Region's personnel department estimates that the cost of one such employee is between $3,000 and $5,000 per year. In order to do somnething, about lost time and reduced efficiency caused by workers with personal problems, Durham's Regional Council adopted a five point policy statement last week at its regular meeting in Whitby. "The Regional Municipality believes that ai] employees, with behavioral problems affecting work performance (such as alcoholism, mental illness, drug problems, emotional distress, etc.) are suffering from problems which are treatable," says the first clause of the policy statement. The statement goes on to say that it will encourage and support any employee with such problems in seeking and undergoing treatment. Support would take the form of sick leaves and leaves of absence where necessary plus a "ýpositive supporting attitude to employees undergoing treatment." ,The policy goes on to say, however, that the rights of the Durham Region to discipline or terminate any employee whose work performance is unsatisfactory will not be jeopardized by the policy. In a report to the Durham Region's management commi ttee, the commîssioner of personnel stated that "there are many practical and humanitarian reasons for the adoption of such a policy and an increasing number of organizations have taken this step. Locally these include General Motors, the City of Lions Club member Ted Miller admires one of the machines for manufacturing copper fittings.
