There are several types of referrals you can make as an employer. You can
decide what type of referral to make, as well as how to communicate the
referral to the employee. You can call or email our office with information
about the referral, you can have the employee call and schedule, or both.
The process is very easy!
1. Informal Referral
There are no job performance concerns at present. However, without
supportive therapy services, the situation may result in a future
performance breakdown. The employee makes the choice to follow through on
the referral or not.
2. Formal Referral
A decline in work performance exists. The employee may already be receiving
performance coaching. Ther referral is made as part of a corrective
performance plan. There are expectations for the employee to attend therapy
sessions as a tool to correct the performance problem. We can provide the
employee with a letter for the employer stating session dates and level of
cooperation, if desired.
3. Mandatory referral
Mandatory referrals are made to therapy when an employer is at the
corrective action stage, where discipline or dismissal of the employee is
likely, and there are mitigating circumstances that motivate company
management to provide an opportunity for the employee to resolve the
problem. Compliance with such a refferal is required. Failure to follow
through with the therapy referral and treatment recommendations in full may
be the basis for termination. Some reasons for mandatory referrals may
include: violence or threats of violence in the workplace, domestic violence
or harrassment, sexual harassment in the workplace, nation of origin
discrimination, suicidal evaluation, or hostile work environment issues.
