Is it legal for an employer in California to require employees to wear company outerwear, but not provide them?
|
The retail company I work for does not allow us to wear any outerwear (sweater, jacket) without our logo on it, even on cold/inclement weather days or if we are working outside. They do not provide us with the approved outerwear nor reimburse us for one's bought from the store (not a company store, but from the retail gift shop we work in). Is this legal?

it may be legal since they do not "require" you to wear outerwear however.................
if you regularly need this to perform your duties outside then they would be required to provide the clothing.
the following is taken directly from the California Industrial Welfare Commission web-site:
If an employer requires that an employee wear a uniform, the employer must pay the cost of the uniform. Labor Code Section 2802, Industrial Welfare Commission Orders, Section 9.
The term "uniform" includes wearing apparel and accessories of distinctive design and color.

I am sure it is legal or they wouldn't do it. If you itemize your taxes that would qualify as a uniform and be deductible. |
