I was just reading an article on uniforms for employees and I agree with the idea that to put uniforms on my people is the right and professional thing to do.

So, here's my dilemma, do I pay for all of their uniform needs? Do I start them out with a few t-shirts and ask them to by sweatshirts/coats? Or do we give them a clothing allowance and let them get what they believe they need?

It has been an issue we've been toiling over for a while. We used to buy all the clothing for them and the cost was pretty substantial so we stopped a few years ago. We require them to purchase some t-shirts and now when it gets a little colder out they put on their own outer garments and totally hide our company color and logos.

Also, if we require them to purchase their own how do I handle the situation when their clothing starts to look ratty?
