The amount of sick leave that may be used for health <br />club membership may not exceed six hours each month or be valued <br />at more than $40.00. The membership must be with a health club <br />that offers a diverse number of exercise activities (i.e., <br />swimming, weight training, aerobics, exercise machines, tennis, <br />racquetball, to name a few). Golf, tennis, or racquetball club <br />memberships or lessons, martial arts or other special skill <br />activities are not eligible activities as they do not provide <br />exercise program characteristics that health clubs, such as U.S. <br />Swim & Fitness Centers, the YMCA or YWCA, Northwest Racquet, Swim <br />& Health Clubs, and other similar clubs provide. <br />PAGE 54 <br />
