ARTICLE 32 <br /> UNIFORMS, TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT <br /> 32.1 For employees required to wear a uniform (excluding Lifeguards and Golf Course <br /> employees), the County will furnish two sets of shirts and pants for each day the <br /> employee is regularly scheduled to work in a workweek, plus one additional <br /> uniform, i.e., five-day employees will have 11 sets and four-day employees will <br /> have 9 sets, and all on-call employees shall receive an additional 2 sets, not to <br /> exceed 15 sets. Each employee shall receive one windbreaker jacket displaying <br /> the County logo. Bargaining unit employees shall be given their choice of long or <br /> short pants, except for those positions for which the County makes the <br /> determination that long pants are required. The determination to require long <br /> pants will not be arbitrarily made. Such uniforms are not to be worn except while <br /> employees are on the job and while traveling to and from the job. Lifeguard and <br /> golf course uniforms will be issued in accordance with current practice. <br /> 32.2 Tools and equipment which are normally supplied by the County will be used <br /> properly and carefully by employees who require them in their work. It is the <br /> responsibility of the employee to use and secure such tools and equipment in <br /> such a manner as to minimize the potential for loss or theft. <br /> 32.3 Tools and equipment provided by the County will be replaced by the County if <br /> they are stolen or broken during normal use and provided proper care and <br /> prescribed security measures have been followed and loss or breakage is not <br /> due to the employee's negligence or abuse. <br /> 32.4 Employees who are required by the County to provide their own tools will be <br /> provided a list of the minimum required tools at the time of employment. <br /> Following ratification of this Agreement by the parties in October of each year of <br /> this Agreement, the supervisor will confirm the employee has the required tools <br /> and submit a request for an annual tool allowance of $150 to be paid eligible <br /> employees. The supervisor will submit the names of eligible employees to the <br /> Department Director for approval. Once approved by the Department Director, <br /> the list will be forwarded to Human Resources for payment to eligible employees <br /> in the next regular payroll cycle. <br /> 52 <br />
