Wearing a uniform can save you money!
Ok, it might not be fun to wear a uniform at work – but think of what you can do with what you’ll save off the cost when you package what you wear!
How it works
Let us know what your uniform cost you to buy, and we’ll tell your employer to set aside that amount from your salary. Then we’ll ensure you are reimbursed the cost – with those pre-tax dollars.
What you need to know
There's two types of uniforms – compulsory and non-compulsory.
Compulsory uniforms are:
- strictly enforced by your employer
- distinctive to your company
- not available to the general public
- shoes, belts, socks and stockings may be packaged if they are essential to the uniform and have a characteristic, such as colour, specific to the company
Non-compulsory uniforms are:
- not strictly enforced by your employer
- registered by your employer on the Register of Approved Occupational Clothing with AusIndustry
- shoes, belts, socks and stockings cannot be packaged
Keep in mind that if your employer provides a uniform allowance, you can only package the cost exceeding that allowance.
A minimum dollar value of $100 applies per claim.
