    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.
