21 November/December 2020 | THE DAVEY BULLETIN DAVEY OFFERS NEW EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM The Davey Tree Expert Company has partnered with The Columbus Foundation to create the Davey Tree Employee Emergency Assistance Program. The new program is designed to provide grants of up to $3,000 per hardship for food, shelter and other basic needs to Davey employees experiencing financial hardship due to an unexpected personal crisis. This is a separate program from the Davey Tree Employee Relief COVID-19 Program. Eligible employees include active employees (full-time or part-time), including those on paid or unpaid leave, short-term disability and who have been employed for at least 120 days. Requested expenses must be the result of an event that has occurred after the start of the program (September 2020) and the application must be submitted within 120 days of the hardship in order to be eligible to receive assistance. Davey Tree employees are eligible to receive no more than $3,000 in one year and no more than $6,000 in their lifetime. Visit the website http://cbusfdn.org/DaveyTreeEAP for more information. There employees can fill out an electronic application for benefits. The website also explains how to donate to support the program.
