As part of our commitment to promoting a healthy lifestyle and controlling healthcare costs, we are now requiring all employees enrolled in a NuAxis Medical plan to actively engage in our wellness program. In the coming months, you will be required to do additional wellness activities to maintain the discounted benefits rates. These rates are designed to reward proactive engagement in health and wellness, offering significant savings compared to the standard benefits rates.
If you are not yet registered on both portals, your deadline to do so is February 28th, 2025. After this deadline, you will be moved to the standard rate which will be $50 more per month starting from the first paycheck in April 2025. Deadlines for new hires are listed in the benefits guide and the instructions to register are given below.

We have added two additional questions below to better gauge your feedback, which will help us continue to build the best employee experience for you and our team members.

Funeral leave pay will not be granted to employees attending a funeral during periods when, for other reasons, they are not at work, such as vacation, holidays, and illness.
Immediate family is understood to include father, mother, step-parents, spouse, domestic partner, child, step-child, sister, brother, mother-in-law, father-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, and grandparents.
