There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to health. That’s why our Wellness Reimbursement Program is designed to help you reach your wellness goals in the way that works best for you. Whether it’s a gym membership, a wellness class, or new fitness equipment, we’ve got you covered. You could be reimbursed up to $600 annually!
You are eligible to participate in this program if you are a permanent employee working 20 or more hours per week.
To receive reimbursement, you must be actively employed at the time of payment. If you leave the Company within three months of receiving reimbursement, you will be required to repay the amount.
All reimbursement requests for expenses incurred during the calendar year must be submitted by December 2. Late submissions will not be accepted.
