Work clothes, as the name implies, refer to clothes worn at work, which can be roughly divided into two categories. One belongs to labor protection articles, which are mainly used in some special posts with certain occupational hazards; The other belongs to gfd overalls, mainly because some enterprises require employees to wear overalls during working hours for corporate image and job requirements.
For the first type of labor protection work clothes, the law stipulates that they must be provided by the employer, which belongs to labor protection articles and is the obligation of the employer. Therefore, workers shall not be required to bear the expenses of labor protection articles themselves.
For the second kind of work clothes, employees must wear work clothes according to the requirements of enterprise rules and regulations because of their post needs. Employees wearing work clothes can better show the elegance of the enterprise, which is conducive to the normal production and operation of the enterprise. Therefore, the cost of work clothes should be borne by enterprises, not by employees themselves.
When an employee is dismissed, the employer can ask for the return of work clothes. If the returned work clothes are damaged due to the employee's intentional or gross negligence, the employer may require the employee to make appropriate compensation according to the rules and regulations.
