I think it's unreasonable, I provide 'uniform' for our engineers, I don't expect them to pay for it.

Can you not claim uniforms back as a tax break? Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis |

What does it say in her contract? That will tell you whether this is down to the employee or employer, whether we think this right or not. |

First time I heard employees have to buy their own uniforms! I think it is unreasonable. |

Never heard of anything so ridiculous. Can you name this 'national' company. I'm sure someone on here would know of someone else that works there and can check it out. Perhaps the Doctor will know? |

Does your daughter wear a uniform to protect her or is it to promote company image?

I didn't do employment law in full detail but did touch on it. As others have mentioned above, what exactly does her contract say? For example, my contract says I am to work at location X but if organisational needs and restructuring demands, I can be required to work elsewhere. Is there something similar to this in her contract for dress/appearance standards?

If it's a fashion chain, like M#n#oon where my wife used to work you have to buy a certain number of items from the store but you get a big discount. Recently they were told that in some cases this was pushing wages below minimum wage level. She got a refund of about £75, and now for those on short hour contracts you still have to buy so many items, as uniform, but they give you an allowance to spend. |

The bus company I work for provide a full uniform (except footware), we get set points each year and there is certain things I must take 2x shirts, 1x trousers etc. it's in my contract that they will provide the clothing but it's the employees responsibility to maintain it.
