WellFit Reimbursement Now Available Online Using 'My HR'
Employees can now apply for WellFit reimbursement for approved fitness facilities, classes and weight loss programs via the intranet by using the online self-service tool My HR in PeopleSoft. Using My HR sends your reimbursement electronically to the WellFit Reimbursement system for approval. Corporate Health and Safety can then use My HR to approve your reimbursement and electronically send it to Payroll for payment on the paycheck following request for reimbursement and approval through the WellFit Reimbursement system.
Effective Jan. 7, 2005, you no longer fill out a hardcopy form to apply for WellFit Incentive Program reimbursement. You will use the new online system. Any requests for reimbursements received by Wellness Processing by Jan. 5, 2005 will be processed using the previous method and will be applied to your last paycheck in January.
New WellFit Reimbursement Procedures:
- If you are a regular full-time or part-time employee (20 + hours per week), you are eligible for the WellFit Reimbursement to an approved fitness facility, class or weight loss program. For a list of approved facilities and accredited weight loss programs, go to the "Fitness Incentive" link on the left.
- You must use a company computer and the online tool My HR to apply for reimbursement for your WellFit costs.
- From a company computer, go to the intranet home page and logon to My HR (in the upper right corner). Follow the steps outlined on the screen, and follow the instructions within the job aid if you need assistance. See attached FAQ for logon instructions.
- After you have submitted your reimbursement and it is approved, it will be forwarded to Payroll, to be included as earnings on the next scheduled paycheck.
- After approval, you will receive an e-mail confirming on which paycheck the earnings will appear.
Effective immediately, no forms are necessary, and no forms should be sent to Wellness Processing - Corporate Health and Safety.
