Workplace Wellness Program Grants for Small Businesses
Employee Benefits
WI Act 137 is new legislation, enacted in March 2014, providing grants to small businesses that create new workplace wellness programs. The funds are used to reimburse workplaces that started a new program after March 15th, 2014 and have since than incurred expenses for their workplace wellness programs over a 12 month period.
