What if there are alternative resources available that can address the employee’s needs?
If there are local community, government, or NGO resources available that can quickly and sufficiently address the employee’s needs, the employee and HR manager should make every effort to pursue those resources before applying for Red Tab Foundation assistance. If an employee obtains partial assistance from an alternative resource they may apply to The Red Tab Foundation for supplementary aid. For example, if an employee loses their home in a flood and a local agency is available to provide food and clothing, but not temporary housing or moving expenses, the Red Tab Foundation can provide supplementary assistance to assist with those costs.
