    Run 2 miles/day to receive a bonus of 130% my salary? That seems insanely good value and this is coming from someone who has run about a total of 2 miles since I left school.

    Get the train to work and park just over a mile away, run to catch the train and go to work. After work run back to your car. Instant 130% salary increase

      Unless you’re disabled, elderly or otherwise unable to do this… Not to mention how is this tracked? I don’t want MY employer knowing what I do or where I go in my free time.

        Yes, of course there needs to be exceptions for those less able.

        It’s tracked by a fitness app according to the article. Just turn off permissions once you’ve finished your run.

          Only thing required is this to be made explicitly illegal.

        In my company they gave you a fitbit type device. The deal wasn’t as good. I think it was free HSA money or something.

      It’s the amount that get crazy, my work has some goodies/benefit for people who exercises, but it’s like a free T shirt once in a while, a charity event where they give 1€ per kilometer to charity, and negotiated discount for some activities. But a 30% or even more bonus?

      I know what to ask to HR
