Is Your Employer Paying For Your Uniform?

|
If you work in California you may be required to wear a uniform to perform your duties at work. Under California Law if you are a non-exempt employee your employer is required to pay for the cost of your uniform.

A uniform, as defined by the Labor Code, includes wearing apparel and accessories of distinctive design and color. In addition, your employer may be required to pay for the cost of cleaning the uniform for some trades.

Unfortunately, many California employers are failing to pay for and maintain the uniforms of their employees. Some employers offer a free uniform but require the non-exempt employee to purchase additional uniforms. If you are a California non-exempt employee that is required to pay for and maintain your uniforms you may be entitled to compensation  under California law.
