• No. An employer must not, directly or indirectly, withhold, deduct or require payment of all or part of an employee’s wages for any purpose other than deductions allowed by the Employment Standards Act. Uniforms and Special Clothing • Can I require employees to wear a uniform or special clothing at work? • Yes, but you must pay for the uniform and clean and maintain it. • Can I impose a dress code? • The Employment Standards Act does not say anything about dress codes. It is reasonable for an employer to require employees wear clothing suited to the business environment. • What constitutes a Uniform? • Any clothing that identifies an employee as part of the employer’s business and is usually the same for all employees. For example, a golf shirt with the company logo on it or pants of a particular style made by a specified manufacturer or required to be bought from a specific place. Any clothing the employee has to buy from the employer for work is considered a uniform. Personal safet
