In an effort to respond to the EPA findings and protect non-smokers from <br /> the effects of secondhand smoke in the workplace, the Executive Managers have <br /> adopted a new smoking policy, detailed on the back of this memo. This policy has also <br /> been reviewed by the AFSCME Joint Labor Management Relations Committee <br /> (JLMRC). <br /> The new policy prohibits smoking in all indoor work areas, including all City-owned or <br /> -leased vehicles, unless expressly permitted by collective bargaining agreement. The <br /> policy is effective April 1, 1993. <br /> Please review this policy and share it with any of your coworkers who do not have <br /> e-mail. <br /> HRRS will setup smoking cessation programs for all employees who would like to quit <br /> smoking. (Sessions will not be scheduled during your regular work hours.) HRRS will <br /> pay one half of the fee upon entry into the program. Employees will be reimbursed for <br /> other half of the program after one year of non-smoking. Call Steve Auferoth at X5610 <br /> ore-mail him if you are interested in this program. <br /> (OVER) <br /> <br />
