Thanks for the helpful message. I'll go ahead and order her one--I think
I'll let her decide where she wants it, as two chairs sounds a bit over the top. DF From: Norma Hasenjager 01/16/2001 08:33 AM To: Drew Fossum/ET&S/Enron@ENRON cc: Subject: Re: Request to purchase chair(s) for Susan We do not have a "policy" regarding the ergonomic chairs. From my experience, management can approve this request if it is reasonable (generally, if the person making the request is confined to long hours in an office chair which could potentially cause or worsen back problems) and if they have money in the budget as the cost would be borne by the department. I understand that Pat Scarsborrow (sp?) at 3-5368 is the person in Property in Houston to contact for these chairs. I also found out that any time new furniture is ordered, that these chairs are now standard issue. Our Safety person indicated that OSHA is coming out with new rules this year which may require that companies provide this benefit to employees, so you may as well get ahead of the game. I'm told that it generally takes 2-3 months after the order is placed before the chairs arrive. Please let me know if you have any other questions in this regad.

Lee Huber made the same request last year and we gave her the chair (she only wanted one, however). Norma, any thoughts? ---------------------- Forwarded by Drew Fossum/ET&S/Enron on 01/13/2001 09:43 AM --------------------------- DENISE LAGESSE 01/12/2001 01:14 PM To: Drew Fossum/ET&S/Enron@ENRON cc: Susan Scott/ET&S/Enron@ENRON Subject: Request to purchase chair(s) for Susan Susan Scott would like authorization to order an Aeron chair for each of her offices - on 47 and 41. This particular chair is designed to help with back problems, which she has. Many people at Enron already have this type of chair, but we rarely, if ever, have a surplus because they are so popular. The cost is $567.77 per chair plus tax. Please approve the purchase of two. Thanks!
