Four Paths to $400 In Your Paycheck!
Have you taken advantage of Drexel University's award-winning Wellness Program and Wellness Incentive Program for benefits-eligible employees (not to mention their eligible spouses and domestic partners)?
Drexel faculty and professional staff members are eligible to earn up to $400 back in their paycheck through this annual program. You have until Nov. 30 of this year to earn 400 points ($400) in your pay.
This flexible benefit allows you to choose your own wellness adventure and uncover how you can engage with your wellbeing while earning money to treat yourself. The only required step is the Personal Health Profile (PHP), which must be completed before you are eligible to receive payouts in your check.
However you decide to engage, don’t delay! You (and your eligible spouse/domestic partner) only have until November 30 to earn points for the 2023 program. Need some support? Check out the FAQs on the HR website for more information to get started today, including upcoming events and opportunities to earn points.
