FAQ's

What happens to points I earned last year?

The points program will continue through Dec 15th. All previous points earned will carry over. Un-redeemed points will become tickets (10/1) in a prize drawing at the end of the 2017 Spring Semester.

How much does it cost to participate?
- Participation is technically free to employees and their spouses. However, negotiated discounted healthy lifestyle products and services i.e. gym membership in Richfield, or FitBit device purchase costs may apply.
Can my spouse participate?

Spouses of all permanent FT/PT employees can participate.

What if my FitBit stops working or becomes damaged?
- FitBit will service your device and often-times replace it if there is a problem that cannot be resolved within one year of purchase. Go to help.fitbit.com and select 'live chat' to get your replacement processed. (Contact Christine Hanks for replacement questions: x7054)
How do I sign up for payroll deduction?
- Richfield payroll deduction form.
- Ephraim payroll deduction form.
Can part-time employees participate? What about their spouses?

All permanent PT employees are invited to participate. Their spouses are also invited.

How does the program differ for Richfield vs. Ephraim employees?
- Because Richfield does not have an activity center, special prices were negotiated at Lifetime Fitness and Impact Fitness gyms for Snow College employees participating in SnowFit.
- Because Ephraim has an activity center, special rates were negotiated for Snow College employees that affect family rates for the AC.
Can I purchase my own FitBit and still participate?

Yes. Just be sure to give your information to SnowFit to participate in activities and win prizes.
