Passport to Wellness: Facility Staff Guide

Updated on

The Passport to Wellness membership pass is added to eligible employee accounts by the Health and Wellness Team. Employees with an active pass can access participating fitness rooms, aquatics venues, and designated open gym times using a key fob linked to their account.

Use this guide to verify a Passport to Wellness pass, assign a key fob, and troubleshoot access issues.

In most cases, Passport to Wellness memberships can be scanned normally using a key fob. If the Passport to Wellness membership is active, the key fob cross-reference number (XRef) is correctly assigned, and the workstation is configured for Pass Visit Processing, no additional action is required beyond normal check-in.

If your facility is unable to scan memberships, refer to Setting Up a Workstation to Scan Memberships for instructions on configuring Pass Visit Processing.

Before You Begin: Confirm the Passport to Wellness Pass

Before issuing a key fob or troubleshooting access issues, verify that the employee has an active Passport to Wellness pass on their account.

  1. In RecTrac/PARKS DIRECT, navigate to Menu > Global Sales.
  2. Use the Global Sales Lookup grid to locate the customer.
  3. Double-click the customer record, or select the record and click Select.
  4. In Global Sales, review the Purchase History tab.
  5. Locate M-NCPPC Passport to Wellness.
