ALOWISHUS DELICIOUS UNIFORM POLICY: 

Employees should always be dressed neatly and appropriately for the type of work they perform.  Current uniforms must always be worn when on duty and should be kept well maintained.  All aspects of the uniform must be worn. 

Every employee must adhere to the Uniform Policy and Procedure. Shift Supervisors/Managers are responsible for ensuring that these guidelines are met at all times.  The standards apply to all store employees – full-time, permanent part-time and casual. Alowishus aims to provide its employees with comfortable and professional uniforms that project a good image and comply with Occupational Health and Safety guidelines.

In the event that any employee arrives for work in a way that is not in line with this policy, their Manager/Supervisor will advise them that they are not dressed or groomed appropriately to perform their duties, on the first occasion.  They will be given the opportunity to address the issues immediately, and if necessary, to return home to change (the time to travel and change will not be paid).  Any deliberate breaches of this policy could result in disciplinary action being taken against the employee.  Any further incidents will be considered in breach of company policy and further action may be taken.
