EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE FUND FOR ALASKA AIRLINES

The Employee Assistance Fund for Alaska Airlines Employees provides assistance to employees in the event of an emergency or major medical situation, or those employees suffering catastrophic event. The EAF is the employee's last resort, after having exhausted sick leave, vacation time, and other avenues of assistance. The EAF may assist with medical bills, mortgage or rent, car payments or insurance, utilities, health insurance premiums or gift certificates for food. Some extenuating circumstances we have helped with: One man needed a special bed that the EAF helped pay for. One woman, who was also the caretaker for her disabled husband, had her roof collapse and the EAF helped pay for supplies to replace it. The EAF helped pay for a hotel stay while an employee's daughter was getting a bone marrow transfusion. The EAF has also helped several employees replace items when they had a house fire. The goal of the EAF is to be a lifeline for employees in true need.
