Uniform Policy

Facilities Management Uniform Guidelines

This Facilities Management uniform policy became effective 08/04/2014.

Facilities Management requires employees in the blue-collar and technical units to wear uniforms provided by Facilities Management. Uniforms provide instant recognition as employees work around campus. Facilities Management-issued shirts and pants are mandatory. If pants are not issued, a clean suitable replacement pair may be worn. All uniform orders must go through dispatch (3-4400) - uniform orders do not go through the warehouse.

These guidelines are in accordance with Article XII, Sections 4&5, pages 99-100 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Facilities Management

  1. Each employee will be issued up to six shirts in any combination (button front in short or long sleeve, t-shirts in short or long sleeve, short sleeve polo’s or smocks). Shirts will be replaced on an as needed basis. Worn shirts must be returned. The Facilities Management work shirt is only to be worn during work hours.

Pants

  1. Facilities Management issued pants are optional but if issued must be worn.
