  • Yes they can. Depends on what the contract of employment requires - this contract was either written or verbal at the time you started working there. most often it is written for larger corporations that know that it is important to do everything in writing so no legal action(s) can take place. Smaller business and small business owners tend to do things 'family' meaning they are more personable and verbally tell things to foster the 'family business' atmosphere. Some companies may choose to purchase the uniforms of their employees. Others may include a small payment in the pay check to purchase uniforms, and some believe that the paycheck is more than sufficient to supply work clothing - it all boils down to the contract of employment.
