How to Claim Your Uniform Allowance

Staff members at SWH are entitled to a uniform allowance, meaning SWH will pay for a number of pieces of your uniform.

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.
