11.   Uniforms, Equipment and Other Special Clothing. When, because of the nature of the work performed, uniforms, protective clothing, or equipment are required, they will be furnished by the institution. The normal costs of clothing that is furnished by the institution may be supported in total or in part by the campus. If the employee is required to share these costs, his/her portion may be handled as a payroll deduction. The institution will bear all maintenance costs for uniforms and other special clothing that it rents.

11.1   A list of the required uniforms, protective clothing, and equipment that is furnished by the institutions will be available at both the office of the appropriate department head and the campus Human Resources or other campus designated office.

11.2   Exceptions to this policy may be made with the approval of the institution's Human Resources Office when the usual practice is for employees to furnish their own work clothes (i.e., nurses' uniforms). Also, even if required for work, clothing and footwear that can be readily worn outside of work (i.e., white shirts or blouses, dress slacks, hosiery, regular shoes, accessories, etc.). Academic robes are supplied by individuals.

11.3   Termination. A terminating staff member who, when requested, fails to return an article of apparel or equipment that has been provided by the institution may be billed for the cost.
