Colleagues,
Staff Policy 35 – Uniforms and Safety Apparel is undergoing a formal review.
Under the provisions of Staff Policy 35, the University provides certain protective work clothing and safety equipment. The University also provides an allowance when an employee is required to wear specific clothing necessary for identification purposes or for other conditions requiring uniforms. The allowance is meant to cover the actual cost of the required uniform and will be funded from local resources.
Proposed revisions to Staff Policy 35 include:
- Title change
Title has been changed from former Protective Clothing, Equipment and Uniforms (originally issued in 1996) to avoid confusion with Environmental Health & Safety Policy Personal Protective Equipment, as referenced in Section VI.
- Delegation of Authority 2068 has been incorporated into policy
In accordance with the Office of the President’s Working Smarter Initiative, DA 2068 has been incorporated into PPSM 35: see (a) Section III.B. Authority (second paragraph) and Section V. Procedures (second paragraph). DA 2068 subsequently was rescinded.
You can read the revised policy at: http://atyourservice.ucop.edu/employees/policies_employee_labor_relations/proposed_policies/prop_staff_policies.html.
Employees covered by this policy who wish to provide comments may submit them to rgsanchez@ucanr.edu by October 1, 2013.
