Q. Are we discontinuing all new purchases?
A. No, but we are more closely managing all spending to find cost savings. You may even see new purchases which have been determined absolute needs or that will be more efficient thereby creating a cost savings in the long run.
Q. Will any services be eliminated?
A. In EPI’s 52 years we’ve continuously entered and exited from service delivery – based on the demand for a service as well as the service’s financial stability. As we’ve always done, we’ll continue to closely manage any service operating at a loss to make sure the financial strain does not jeopardize other services or the organization as a whole.
Q. How will this impact our health insurance?
A. We don’t anticipate any changes to our health insurance until the annual renewal effective May 1, 2010. Much like previous years, we do anticipate some adjustments at this time due the unrelenting rise of healthcare costs. Please know we are dedicated to continuing our provision of affordable healthcare meeting the needs of employees.
Q. When will we know if our job is in jeopardy?
A. If decisions of this nature need to be made, EPI’s practice is to provide 30 days notice to employees. |
