Respirator Allowance Sample Clauses
A Respirator Allowance clause provides for additional compensation or benefits to employees who are required to use respirators as part of their job duties. Typically, this allowance covers the costs associated with purchasing, maintaining, or replacing respirators, or it may be a fixed stipend added to the employee's pay.
