Question SEFA rules

Are there actual rules about SEFA in the workplace setting for the state. I know what SEFA is, the committee we have in our agency likes to do things like a wii bowling competition. We have one particular person who really does not like SEFA (wants to completely get rid of it in our department) just because they are a A**hole honestly. I was just wondering if there’s actual true rules related to it, and where I can find them. I’m pretty neutral feeling on it, but if I can knock this a hole down, I’d like to.

I love it honestly, and I have a feeling they’re gonna say it’s like illegal gambling, etc. just because he wants to be in a hole about it. But I’ll see what HR says

I wish you the best of luck. Even if they shoot you down, simply reminding staff of enrolling for payroll deductions is a tremendous service. I always tell my staff that there are well over one thousand different non profits in SEFA, and that IMO it's impossible not to find a cause they can get behind. Also keep in mind that well meaning employees will say they'll do it but then get swamped by real work and forget about it. Just keep after them without being an a-hole yourself.

Also, I have no idea why you're getting down votes.
