• Cut items into rag pieces to be used or thrown away.
“WEARABILITY” LIFE Once an item has faded dramatically, has holes, excessive fraying or been stained considerably it does not meet the professional appearance standard and must be taken out of service. The supervisor must ensure these items are NOT worn in public unless all patches and logos are removed.
MISCELLANEOUS SITUATIONS For employees that are terminated before the end of their probationary period, follow the Department Policy. Supervisors can determine the uniform items that must be returned if usable and issue them to other seasonal employees when reasonable. Supervisors will follow disposal options if uniform items are unusable. Uniform items issued to seasonal employees must be returned to their immediate supervisor upon completion of their employment. When possible and depending on the condition of the uniform items, they will be re-issued to other seasonal employees. Coats may be issued to seasonal employees depending on season of hire. The coat must be returned to their immediate supervisor upon the completion of their employment. For retirees, supervisors will ensure that the employee knows the disposal methods. Division and Department logos are protected by the Department’s Uniform Committee and the Executive Director. Area logos and or crew logos must be approved if used in conjunction with the official Division and Department logos. Contact the division uniform committee representatives to receive the Division Director’s approval. If an employee transfers to another area office or position that has a different uniform class amount, the supervisor may use discretion to determine items needed for the new position. The supervisor will prorate the difference between the two class amounts and remaining months until the end of the fiscal year.
