What is the name of your state? Alabama
Recently my publicly traded employer has proposed a new unifrom policy. They want us to all wear a suit each day, We mostly agree with this. They however, want us to sign a new policy that allows them to deduct $25.00 per pay period to equal $600.00 per year. They say they are going to pay half which means they supposedly contribute another $600.00. Many of us agree with the new proposed dress code but do not agree with them deducting this amount from oour salary's. We are willing to buy our own clothes to prevent them from potentially frofiting from us. They say anyone who refuses to sign the policy will be "left behind". We did not sign a uniform policy at hire only a dress code policy stating what was and was not acceptable attire for the office. They are saying this deduction will be for the duration of our employment. So for $1200 (they pay $600.00 ) we get 4 suits and 10 shirts. And they say we have to do this? I'm willing to buy my own and look exactly like others however, i fully believe I could do it cheaper. Can they fire me for this?
I have no idea about the laws.
thanks in advance for any help.
