    The issue isn’t whether it’s a healthy idea. The issue is that the employer is overstepping personal and professional boundaries.

      Is it overstepping? If the bonus criteria aren’t laid out in the compensation package at the time of hiring, it’s petty much whatever they want, provided they can find a suitable way to accommodate employees that would be at a disadvantage due to protected class.

      I wonder how they are ensuring the collected data is accurate.

      Edit: If it’s just a fitness app, then I’m crushing it on the daily just existing, and I am not a fit man. Hell, I’d be getting a 130% bonus.

        Absolutely it is. Anything that is not related to my job performance is none of my employer’s business and should be off the table when it comes to determining compensation or bonuses.

          The boss believes their employees’ fitness is a direct correlation to the success of the company, which makes it related to their job performance.

          I agree this is a strange belief to be held by an employer. The business gets to define the relevance, especially if they are gonna base so much of your compensation off of it.

            I’m sure there are lots of ways bosses might want their employees to change in their personal lives because it might benefit the company. But that’s the part that’s overstepping.

              What if you got a bonus for taking an external training? Still no? This seems like a weirdly hard line to draw fo a bonus

                Training in a job related field is actually related to job performance.

                But it’s not really about the bonus. It’s about the boundaries. I see no problem with setting hard boundaries between personal life and work life.

          The overall health of a workforce affects health insurance rates and every employee. The more unhealthy a workforce is, the more money comes out of your check for insurance. This is why wellness programs exist at companies.

            Just because it’s good for the company does not mean it’s not overstepping boundaries.

        Yet, the SJWs of America come out of the wood work to berate an idea of trying to move a little bit more and use “disabilities” as a shield to trying to do something that is healthy for

        I haven’t said anything about disabilities.

            I assumed you were addressing me and my point since you posted your comment as a direct response to me and my comment. That is usually how internet comments work.

            Thank you for clarifying.
