Tobacco Free Workplace
Chartwell Hospitality is implementing a tobacco user surcharge effective January 1, 2022. If you wish to enroll in medical benefits,
you will need to complete a Tobacco Declaration. If you answer that you have been tobacco-free for 1 year or more, you will not be
subject to the surcharge. If you have used tobacco products of any kind in the past year, a Tobacco User Surcharge will apply. The
surcharge amount will be $25 per paycheck.
The definition for the use of tobacco includes cigarettes, pipes, cigars, smokeless/electronic devices and/or chewing tobacco —
regardless of frequency or method of use.
If you currently use tobacco products and want to start down the path to becoming tobacco-free, United Healthcare offers tobacco
cessation programs. We encourage those of you who use tobacco to take advantage of the cessation programs and products
available. Once you complete the cessation program, the surcharge will be removed from your paycheck deductions.
