The Executive Budget for 2008 includes funding for the Healthy Workplace Funding Initiative at the rate of $25 per benefits eligible employee per year. This funding is allocated at the Departmental level as a separate line item in the operating budget (account 53833). Funds may be distributed within each department as the department sees fit.
Because active employee involvement is central to a healthy workplace, departments are required to involve employees in determining the most effective use of available funds.
Applications must be complete or they will be returned. All applications must be received by December 11, 2008 to be considered.
The basic steps to follow are:
Review and become familiar with program guidelines
Engage employees in determining the most effective use of funds
Complete and submit an application
After application is approved, purchase goods or services
