Employee Wellness Leave Program
Wellness Leave
The Wellness Leave program offers eight (8) hours of additional leave time per fiscal year to eligible employees who complete wellness requirements!
To be awarded Wellness Leave Hours, employees must:
-
- Receive a physical examination from a health care provider,
- Complete the Health Risk Assessment through BlueCross BlueShield of Texas, and
- Participate in two eligible wellness events ↓.
After completing these steps, the employee will be awarded eight (8) hours of Wellness Leave by submitting the Wellness Leave Certification Form and required documentation to HSCWellness@ttuhsc.edu or their campus Human Resources Office.
Wellness Leave Hours will be awarded to the employee using the Wellness Get Fit (WEF) leave category. WEF hours will be available for use on the first of the month following submission of all required documentation.
WEF hour awards are limited to 8 hours per fiscal year. Eligible employees will have the option to submit requests for either the Wellness Leave Program, which offers 8 hours of WEF leave, or the Get Fit Challenge, which offers 4 hours of WEF leave. WEF time off must be scheduled in advance and approved by the employee’s supervisor.
Please note: Awarded WEF hours must be used within the fiscal year and will expire
on August 31 of each year. WEF hours are not paid out upon separation of employment.
Wellness Events
Each month, TTUHSC shares eligible wellness events and/or activities that qualify for TTUHSC’s Wellness Leave program. A certificate of attendance must be submitted along with the Wellness Leave Certification form for the event to be counted toward leave awards.
Current team members, take a look at the internal Wellness page (eRaider required) to view current and past qualifying events.
