Wellness Incentive: Tier 1 ends April 30…it’s not too late to get started!
Tier 1 of the 2016 Wellness Incentive ends April 30. Complete these two simple steps in order to earn $100* in your final May paycheck and help define what wellness means to you:
- Sign a wellness pledge, which most eligible employees** signed during Annual Enrollment in October 2015.
- Complete a Personal Health Assessment (PHA)—this online questionnaire takes about 15 minutes and is designed to identify any potential health risks. Log in to the Wellness Portal to complete your PHA.
Educate yourself to discover ways you could improve your health. Then, invest in yourself by participating in Tier 2 activities that help you reach your goals. Check out http://umurl.us/incentive for more information. For questions, please contact the HR Service Center at (573) 882-2146 or HRServiceCenter@umsystem.edu.
*2016 Wellness Incentive earnings will be taxed and voluntary retirement contributions will be deducted, just like with other earnings.
