Animal Welfare Professionals

We have several big events coming up and we want to up our game, so I'm looking for some guidance. 

Our small shelter staff does not currently have a standard daily uniform; most wear various shelter T-shirts. We are planning to provide staff with matching shirts and require them to wear those shirts each workday. 

For those of you with uniform policies, how is your uniform program structured?

Example: Full-time staff receive __________ shirts.

Part-time staff receive __________ shirts.

·       Do you require employees to return shirts if they resign or are terminated within a certain period? For example, if a new full-time employee receives three staff shirts and resigns or is terminated within six weeks, are they required to return them?

·       Do you require employees to sign a shirt return policy?

In a previous job, I was required to return my logoed jacket before receiving my final paycheck, even though I had worked there for three years. 

Because we are a small nonprofit with a limited budget, we want to handle this thoughtfully.

Thank you for your insight!
