Baltimore, MD (Vocus/PRWEB ) January 14, 2010 -- American Substance Abuse Professionals®, ASAP, is in the business of providing nationwide drug free workplace programs that qualify for state workers’ compensation discounts. Many of these state discount incentive plans result in big savings to an employer’s bottom line.
Since incentive plans vary state to state and are subject to change; it is critical to develop a program that qualifies for the fullest discount possible. For example, the states of Alabama and Florida save an annual 5% for instilling a qualified drug-free workplace program, while companies in Georgia save 7.5% annually. Program components may range from a comprehensive policy, employee education and supervisor training, drug and alcohol testing, provision of an employee assistance program (EAP) and access to local rehabilitation resources.Susie Craft, of Dealership Solutions, in Florida said, “By using ASAP, we are saving over $130 per employee, each year!” Suncoast Pest Control, in Florida, has saved roughly $70 per employee year-to-date. While statistics such as these suggest a real cost savings to employers; taking steps to raise awareness among employees about the impact of substance use on workplace performance, and offering the appropriate resources and/or assistance to employees in need, will not only improve worker safety and health, but also increase workplace productivity and market competitiveness.
