Uniform and Equipment Replacement. Employees will earn points commencing in the month of hire on a pro-rated basis to be utilized in the following year towards the replacement of needed uniform items as determined by the Employee. The value of a single point is equal to one (1) dollar against the cost of replacement uniform items. The Employer will maintain an approved uniform list and make the current list available to staff from which they may select replacement uniform items. The Employer determines approved uniform items and may add or remove approved uniform items from the list available to the Employee for replacement at its sole discretion. The Employer may mandate an Employee replace uniform items that have excessive wear and tear and the Employee’s points will apply to this replacement requirement. Any uniforms that are damaged in the performance of their duties will be replaced by the Employer. All uniform issued remains the property of the Employer and must be returned to the Employer upon termination of employment.
Uniform and Equipment Replacement. Anytime an employee needs any uniform or equipment item(s) replaced due to normal wear and tear, the employee shall submit a request to the Communications Supervisor for the replacement thereof. At the time the request is submitted, the employee must turn-in the item(s) in question to the Communications Supervisor. The Communications Supervisor shall properly evaluate the need for replacement and if a valid need indeed exists for the replacement of such items, the Communications Supervisor shall forward such request and item(s) to the individual within the Department with the assigned responsibility for approving the replacement of such item(s). If such request is subsequently approved, the individual responsible for uniform & equipment ordering shall process an order as expeditiously as possible for the replacement of requested item(s).
