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

| 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.”
