At Camunda, we recognize the importance of physical activity for our employees' well-being, especially since many of us spend long hours working behind a laptop screen. We strongly encourage and support our team members in engaging in various forms of movement throughout the day.

Moving our bodies is a natural and highly effective way to reduce anxiety and stress. Regular physical activity helps relieve tension, boost both physical and mental energy levels, and enhance overall well-being through the release of endorphins, the body's natural feel-good chemicals. Any form of movement that gets you active is beneficial, whether it's taking a walk, going for a swim, participating in a group fitness class, or engaging in any other activity that you enjoy.

We believe that by prioritizing and promoting physical activity, we can foster a healthier, happier, and more productive workforce. As part of our commitment to employee well-being, we encourage you to find ways to incorporate movement into your daily routine and take advantage of any resources or initiatives provided by Camunda to support your physical fitness goals.

FAQ's 

1. How does the fitness reimbursement program work?
   1. The program provides an annual fitness reimbursement that's paid out each February for the previous year's fitness-related expenses. Employees first sign up for their chosen fitness activity, and then submit receipts to Total Rewards in January for reimbursement. The reimbursement is added to your salary payment in February and taxed at the same marginal rate as your salary.
2. What's the maximum reimbursement amount?
   1. For Camunda Inc employees, the maximum is $600 USD. For Camunda Ltd, Camunda PTE Ltd, and Remote.com employees, the maximum is €500/£500, depending on your location
3. What if my membership costs less than the maximum amount?
   1. You'll be reimbursed for your actual costs up to the maximum amount. For example, if you spend $495 (or €395/£395), that's the amount you'll receive. The remaining balance cannot be used for other purposes.
4. What if my membership exceeds the maximum amount?
   1. You'll need to pay the difference yourself. The reimbursement benefit is capped at the maximum amount for all employees ($600 for Inc, €500/£500 for others).
5. My gym/leisure club does not provide receipts / invoices, what else can I submit?
   1. If possible, please submit a snip from your bank statement with the value of the purchase and the name of the vendor, if payment is made monthly please include monthly amounts as well as your contract/proof of membership. 
6. What sorts of things can I reimburse?
   1. You have complete freedom to choose any gym, sports club, or fitness facility that works best for you
   2. Sports classes/training 
   3. Club membership (e.g., crossfit, running club etc)
   4. Fitness app that includes classes (e.g., Peloton membership, FitBit, Apple Fitness +)
7. What sorts of things can I NOT reimburse?
   1. Gym or sports equipment (e.g., bikes, treadmills, heart rate monitors, sports apparel)
   2. Memberships for your spouse or family; this is for Camundi only
8. I have a family/group membership plan, how do you calculate the reimbursement I am entitled to?
   1. If you have a shared family plan we would review your receipts/membership contract and divide the monthly/annual cost by the number of members to get the cost for an individual. 
9. What if I start working at Camunda partway through the year?
   1. The benefit will be pro-rated based on your start date for any partial year of employment with Camunda.
10. I am purchasing a membership in Dec 2024, but will only start it in 2025. From which years budget does this come?
    1. Reimbursements are based on when they are realised/incurred.
    2. This means that if you purchase a new membership in Dec of 24, this will be associated with your 2024 fitness entitlement. 
    3. i.e., expenses with a date in X calendar year, can be claimed in January of X+1. 
    4. Suggestion:
       1. Work with the provider to align costs to the associated calendar year, i.e., if you want to use your 2025 budget, have the expense dated in 2025. 
11. I am departing Camunda before the January reimbursement period for the preceding year, am I eligible to claim?
    1. No, this benefit is only available to active Camundi
    2. You must be actively employed by Camunda at the time of reimbursement in January of each year for the prior year's reimbursements.
