For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.i think it will depend. If it is like a tesco uniform or a nurses uniform then why should you pay? Hwever, if you work in a clothes shop and they want you to wear the clothes from the shop for example, you would be able to wear those outside in your non working life too, so perhaps that should be 1/2 and 1/2
As other posters have said, it will vary. At Next years ago, uniform was NEXT clothing, which you bought and chose yourself, but at a discount. But you could wear it out of work too.
When i was front line staff at my current employer (an airline), the airline gave you a full uniform consisting of a certain number of each things, each with a "life", at the end of the life you could return it and get another one. So the box of tights were every six months, the shirts 1 year, the winter coat 3 years etc.
If you needed a replacement sooner, you wanted extras, or if you lost something, then you had to pay and it came out of your wages.

If the company care for and appreciates the employees then that company will pay for uniforms.I worked for a company that paid for full uniforms for the office staff and working clothes for the fitters working in garages and out on site.they also paid all laundry bills.the company realised that a well dressed member of staff was an asset and a good advertisement.
