1. How do I join the Healthy Living Team?

All benefits-eligible employees are eligible to participate in the wellness program, regardless of whether they are enrolled in the Town's healthcare plan. The Town partners with Wellable, an online wellness support platform.  New employees will receive an email invitation from Wellable to join the Healthy Living Team. If you can't find the email from Wellable, you can request a new activiation code by emailing Wellable. Next download the Wellable App Android or download the Wellable App iOS. Link your favorite activity tracker on the Wellable app. Follow the instructions on the Bulletin Board page of the Wellable app. Then start reporting your walking, cycling and physical activity using the Wellable app on your smartphone or on the Wellable Website.  Maximum daily points for walking, cycling or other physical activity is 1,500 points.

2. How are my wellness points paid out?

You've taken the time and made effort surrounding your wellness, and so you've earned points. Good for you! Hopefully, you've had some fun along the way. And, hopefully, you could use a little extra cash just in time for the holidays.

Since 2015, a year-end check has been the method by which all participating employees receive their wellness rewards. No action is required on your part to initiate the payout -- just engage in the wellness program, and your 2022 reward will come to you on your December 2, 2022 paycheck.

A couple of items of note

• Wellness incentives paid are considered part of your taxable income. The amount of your payout will be "grossed up" for FICA and Medicare, so the amount of your reward will be equal to the amount of points you earned. The reward is subject to Federal and State income taxes.
• Those separating employment with the Town before the end of the year will be paid out for all wellness points earned as of their separation dates.
