Wellness Programs. The Plan may offer Members the opportunity to participate in programs of health promotion and/or disease prevention. When offered, these programs will be available to Members without regard to health status. Whether or not Members decide to participate in such programs will not affect their continued eligibility, benefits, premiums, or cost-sharing obligations under this Agreement.

Any reward provided by the Plan in connection with these programs will not be offered or conditioned upon the Member satisfying a standard that is based on a health related factor.
Wellness Programs. 2. The Contractor must provide a range of health promotion and wellness information and activities for Enrollees in formats that meet the needs of all Enrollees. The Contractor shall:
Wellness Programs. The Company will emphasize programs to improve the health and wellness of the workforce. Examples would include health monitoring, exercise, hypertension classes, weight loss programs and stop-smoking classes.
Wellness Programs. The State shall encourage all agencies with Unit 17 employees to develop and implement departmental and/or local wellness programs within existing budgetary and staffing resources. Wellness programs may include, but are not limited to, classes, speakers, informational materials and other services on such subjects as stress management, smoking cessation, weight reduction, nutrition, general fitness, and/or relaxation techniques. Employee participation in wellness programs shall be voluntary and on the employee’s own time. Insofar as practical, wellness programs should be made available to Unit 17 employees working evening, night or other than regular day shifts.
Wellness Programs. There may be a wellness committee comprised of three (3) administrators and one (1) employee chosen from and by the Association to recommend to the Board wellness program activities for employees. Upon the Board's acceptance of the committee's recommendation, schedule adjustments of non- instructional time shall be allowed for participation in approved programs.
Wellness Programs. The Parties recognize the benefits of a physically fit and healthy workforce and agree upon the appropriate arrangements whereby em- ployees may voluntarily participate in a wellness program, which would include administrative leave not to exceed 3 hours per week, if the workload permits. The Local parties may mutually agree to exempt administrative leave as a provi- sion of their wellness program. If use of administrative leave in lieu of duty time is not feasible, Local parties are encouraged to consider some reimbursement for fees associated with off-duty wellness activities. The specific details for each unit’s wellness program will be left to the Local parties. The Parties fully expect collaborative negotiations at the local and intermediate levels to support the health and well being of employees to the fullest extent possible. However, if disagreement arises through negotiations, or application of local agreements, 3 hours per week of administrative leave is the default if the workload permits. These provisions do not affect the physical fitness requirements or policy for those employees who are covered by arduous duties covered by firefighters and Law Enforcement Officers.
Wellness Programs. Officers will be required to participate in mandatory wellness programs that would lead to healthier lifestyle choices. Classes will be held during normal working hours and attendance will be coordinated through the Police Department.

Participation in such programs is voluntary and may be done on regular duty time if it is offered during the Employee’s duty hours.
