HOW DO I CLAIM MY UNIFORM ALLOWANCE?

To claim your uniform allowance, add the items to your shopping cart and at the checkout choose the payment method called Use My Uniform Allowance.

This payment method requires manager approval before being put into production. You can select the manager you want to approve your order from a drop down at step 6 of the chekout.

Here you will also have to enter your cost centre so your uniform allowance can be assigned to the correct SWH budget.

Uniform items can be replaced as necessary in order for a staff member to meet the requirements of the Uniform Policy, on the condition that the item being replaced has become damaged at work or has faded or worn over time. Manager approval must be obtained for the replacement of uniforms. Speaking to your manager first ensures your order will comply with the Policy, and will get approved!
