Gym Membership
Effective October 1, 2020 The City of Pearland is excited to offer ALL employees, regardless if you’re on the City’s insurance, a FREE annual gym membership to the Pearland Recreation Center and Natatorium. The gym membership will be offered on a fiscal year basis and will be effective on the date of enrollment. Family members covered on one of the City of Pearland’s insurance plans will receive 50% discount off the annual membership. In order to take advantage of the free gym membership, you will need to elect or decline this benefit in Benefit Connector. Employee memberships will not be active until the employee completes a membership application with the Pearland Recreation Center. Employees will have 30 days from the enrollment date to complete the membership application to guarantee activation. If the gym membership is not activated in 30 days the employee will have to wait until the next fiscal year to reenroll. For more information on how to complete a membership application please visit the Benefits page on Pearnet then click the open enrollment tab. Please note: There will be NO annual membership fees, however the value of the membership ($15.00 per month) is considered by the IRS to be a taxable benefit. Employees who elect to have the gym membership will be subject to Federal, Social Security and Medicare tax withholdings. Once a month the tax on $15.00 will be calculated and deducted from the employee’s gross pay. At the end of the calendar year the total of the taxes paid each month will be included on the employee’s W-2.
