The Municipal Employees Credit Union (MECU) offers a program of free financial counseling to City employees through the Customer Credit Counseling Service (CCCS). CCCS is an independent counseling service at MECU offices which will provide a full-time professional counselor. Employees must contact MECU to make an appointment for a counseling session. All City employees in need of financial counseling are eligible to participate in this program. Employees are not required to be a member of MECU. Employees will be allowed up to 3 hours, if necessary, of time off with pay for the purpose of attending counseling sessions. Supervisors may request CCCS to provide verification of an employee’s attendance at a counseling session. October 21, 1983
