fitness center for ee

lrobb

does anyone have a fitness center on their property that is available to off duty ees 24/7. If so do you have them sign a release from liability and if so would you mind sharing this. We are in the process of building a new corporate HQ that will have a large portion of the first floor as a fitness center for employees only

Will you manage the facility or contract with an established group to manage it? Most employers follow the contract path. If not, you will need to use a release form for any one using the facility.

It is understood that my use of such equipment is to be confied to time periods other than normal business hours.
