Employee Support and Counselling products known as “EAP’s” Employee Assistance programmes are essentially a way of offering professional help and guidance to your employees.

EAPs first appeared in the US in the 1950s to help employees tackle alcohol-related problems. They made their way to the UK, in a more comprehensive format, in the 1980s.

They can be purchased as a stand-alone product or incorporated into a wider health and wellbeing product like a private medical insurance policy or a health cash plan.

The purpose of an EAP is to support your employees with any issues they may have. Most EAP products will offer telephone counselling with the option to provide a set number of face-to-face counselling sessions for in the moment support.

These are not an alternative to long-term counselling and for more serious psychological issues employees may need to be referred to their GP for a specialist referral.

Professionally trained consultants are available to help with several issues that may be affecting your employee’s personal or work life. The EAP is free, confidential, and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

What Are The Tax Implications?

A stand-alone EAP can be regarded as a business expense rather than a benefit-in-kind as long as it satisfies HM Revenue and Customs’ definition of welfare counselling and is not provided directly to employees’ dependants, unless in relation to an issue being faced by an employee.
