The College of Engineering Staff Council’s Wellness Committee once again wants to challenge you to “Get Moving in 2020”.
To support and facilitate this effort, our committee will be holding a challenge throughout the months of October and November where participants will be asked to create their own wellness goals. These goals can be focused on fitness, mental health, general self-care, or any other habits that support your overall wellness. For the purpose of this challenge, we will be asking participants to create goals that are S.M.A.R.T. or specific, measureable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound. At the end of each week participants will be asked to fill out a webform in order to log their activity and indicate whether they have met their goal.
Participants will eligible for both weekly and monthly challenge prizes.* Every week, our committee will raffle off credit to the Nebraska Engineering Store to participants who submit their progress via the established webform. Larger monthly prizes, which include a light therapy lamp, weighted blanket, Apple AirPods, and an Apple Watch Series 3, will be awarded at the end of each month to participants who log their progress every week of that month. Two prizes will be awarded at the end of October and two prizes awarded at the end of November.
In order to participate in the “Get Moving in 2020” challenge, please fill out the registration webform (link below).
Please feel free to direct any questions to Ashley West at awest9@unl.edu.
*As a reminder, challenge prizes are subject to tax. The IRS and the Nebraska Department of Revenue require that employers report the value of all gifts provided to employees. That being said, prize winners will see an increase in their gross income based on the approximate value of the prize. This will then be shown as dollar amount under ‘Earnings’, listed as “3PRTYTAX”. This amount will NOT be a deduction in pay, but rather an amount added to the winner’s taxable wages. Winners will see a decrease in their net pay in the amount of a few dollars. The amount of tax that prize winners pay will depend on their personal exemptions. Participants may of course opt out of the prize drawing, should they prefer to avoid these taxes.
