Re: Boots ?? uniform
Not sure what happens nowadays, but I believe you don't get issued with uniform until you done 6 weeks.

Re: Boots ?? uniform
Footwear and Hi-viz are PPE and because they're a conduct issue then they have to be issued...............and worn.

Re: Boots ?? uniform
i was under the impression that regarding uniform we can order trousers, fleece, polo/shorts and shoes once we start... but its 6 weeks iirc before you can order stormproof gear, and boots...
but then again i wouldnt be surprised if they had changed that since i started

In theory yes but doesnt mean this is actually adhered to. Most of our temp / part timers are without boots although they do seem to give out the hi vis jackets to everyone.Footwear and Hi-viz are PPE and because they're a conduct issue then they have to be issued...............and worn.

You cant order anything yourself anymore as its handled by a different company now! Everything has to be done by your manager now days.i was under the impression that regarding uniform we can order trousers, fleece, polo/shorts and shoes once we start... but its 6 weeks iirc before you can order stormproof gear, and boots...

Re: Boots ?? uniform
You can order yourself. You only need to get a manager to do it if you have already ordered the maximum amount of uniform you are allowed to order in the last year.
