  • Can employers require their employees to wear uniforms?

Yes. However, the cost of buying and/or taking care of a uniform must not bring the employee below the minimum wage.

IF… THEN
Workers at the minimum wage rate must wear a uniform Their employers must clean and take care of the uniforms OR Pay the employees to do so

Ordinary clothing (such as black trousers and white shirts) is generally not a “uniform.”
