Payroll Deduction memberships* will be on sale the 1st - 15th of each month. All Payroll Deducation memberships will run through May 31, 2023. Cancellation of memberships will require a doctor's note or if you are leaving the university.
Faculty and staff can enroll for membership using payroll deduction by bringing your faculty/staff BC ID card to Member Services located in the main lobby of the Margot Connell Recreation Center anytime throughout the year. Payroll deduction commits you to a membership until May 31st. Enrollment period is by the 15th of the month to start monthly payments by the 1st of the next month. For example, if you enroll on September 10th your payroll deduction will start in the first paycheck in October. At the time of enrollment you will be required to pay a prorated amount by credit card to cover you until your first monthly payment. If you purchase between the 16th and the end of the month, you will pay a prorated amount for the remainder of that month and for the next month by credit card until payroll deduction begins the following month. For example, if you enroll on September 16th you will pay the prorated amount for September 16th - 30th and the month of October by credit card and payroll deduction will begin on your November paycheck.
At the end of the year--April/May--you will have the opportunity to continue your services or opt out for the following fiscal year.
