It depends on how much you are paid and the clothing you must wear.
If you get paid minimum wage, the general rule is that your employer
must pay if you have to wear specific clothing.
If you earn more than minimum wage, your employer can deduct part
of your salary to pay for the uniform. The amount your employer
deducts cannot reduce your salary to less than minimum wage.
For example, your employer wants you to wear a uniform that costs
$100.00. You earn $10.00 per hour and usually work twenty (20) hours
per week for a total of $200.00 per pay period. Your employer deducts
$50.00 from your first pay cheque to pay for the uniform, leaving you
with $150.00. Your employer cannot do this because it means you will
be paid $7.50 per hour, instead of the minimum wage of $7.75
(or $7.00 for tip employees).
The employer must pay for the uniform if it has the company name on it.
It does not matter how much you earn.
