Wellness Programs
Weight Watchers at Work
Congratulations on making a commitment to your health and well-being! The college wants to help you succeed, so you can use Employee Assistance Program (EAP) funds to be reimbursed for your participation in Weight Watchers at Work.
There are some policies you should know about to get the most out of the program:
- To be reimbursed under EAP, you must attend at least nine of the 12 Weight Watchers meetings offered on campus in a single session. If you can't make it to a meeting on your usual campus, you can attend a meeting on another campus.
- Your attendance each week must be recorded in your “Membership Book” which must be stamped by the Weight Watcher’s Leader when you attend the meeting on campus.
- When you’re ready to apply for reimbursement, you’ll need:
- An EAP form signed by your supervisor.
- Proof of attendance at 3 sessions per month in your Weight Watchers membership book. You can block out the part that records your weight; we just need proof of attendance.
- Proof of payment. You have three options here:
- You can provide a “canceled check (front and back) and a copy of the attached “Weight Watchers At Work Member Log” with Payment Type circled and signed by your Weight Watchers Leader, OR
- A credit card statement indicating payment made to Weight Watchers and a copy of the “Weight Watchers At Work Member Log” with Payment Type circled and signed by your Weight Watchers Leader, OR
- If you pay your weekly fee by cash, a copy of the “Weight Watchers At Work Member Log” with Payment Type circled and signed by your Weight Watchers Leader.
- Send all of the documents to India Hunter in the Human Resources and Strategic Talent Management office.
Good Luck with the Program. Let’s get healthy and reach our goal weight together.
