Workwear
paid for by the employer: what is required, what is recommended and how to order
If you run a business with employees, you have probably wondered whether employer-provided work clothes are required or up to you. The answer depends on the industry, the agreement and the type of work. This guide covers the essentials and explains how to choose and order clothing for your team without wasting time.
Is there a general requirement to provide work clothes?
According to the Kol Zchut website, employers are not generally required to provide employees with clothing or pay for it. The requirement exists when safety regulations, an extension order or an agreement call for it. So the first step is to check what applies to your industry.
The examples listed there include:
- Event hall and venue workers
- The employer provides work clothes at its own expense every year.
- Security and guard workers
- A shirt, trousers and the like according to the needs of the job, at the employer's expense.
- Cleaning and maintenance company workers
- The employer provides proper safety shoes at its own expense.
- Metal industry workers, as defined in the regulations
- Suitable work clothes, including shoes and socks for work use only.
This is a partial list. If you are not sure what applies to you, it is worth checking with a legal advisor or an HR professional before you decide.
Even when it is not required,
there are good reasons to provide work uniforms
Many businesses provide clothing for their team by choice. A team in matching uniforms looks organized in front of customers, is easy to recognize, and employees do not have to wear their own clothes at work. With the logo on the shirt, the garment also represents the business.
What to choose for your team
The choice starts with the type of work: what people do during the day, indoors or outdoors, and who they deal with.
Customer-facing work
Physical work
Outdoor and field work
Kitchens and restaurants
Clinics and care teams
