Parties
Clearly identify the employer (legal entity) and employee by full legal names and include any authorized vendor representative name and contact details for billing or dispute resolution.
A written Employee Fitness Subscription Extension creates clear administrative, tax, and legal records and reduces disputes by documenting financial responsibility, effective dates, and privacy handling. Electronic signatures meeting ESIGN (15 U.S.C. §7001) or state UETA standards make these extensions enforceable when intent, consent, attribution, and retention are satisfied.
Use the extension to document consent, payment method, and privacy handling; keep a signed copy with employee benefit records.
