and I sit next to 2 guys that are in shape and younger than me......and they have both been out sick more then those 4 days..... just this year.
yet I should should get paid less than them for doing the same job because some chart says I'm overweight and statistics say I'm prone to being out more than them.
you shouldn't pay people on statistics....you should pay them on performance. If they can't perform....lose them....that simple.
And it IS a good idea to reimburse for health club memberships because if you are leading a healthy lifestyle as opposed to a non-healthy lifestyle and should be rewarded for that because it does help with the Health benefits within a company. Like I said as well...charge them more of a contribution to their health insurance if they meet certain risk factors.

"I am 5'11" and weigh 210 pounds"
(1) you are not obese
(2) your observations of yourself and a few co-workers do not make a statistically significant sample. I flip a coin, it comes up heads, can I conculde that the coin will never come up tails? Nope.
Obesity and smoking are very expensive to business. Smoking is a personhal choice, obesity is almost always a personal choice.
