Answer:
Federal law does not require that employees wear uniforms. However, if the wearing of a uniform is required by some other law,the nature of a business,or by an employer,the cost of the uniform is
considered to be a business expense of the employer. If the employer requires the employee to bear the cost, it may not reduce the employee's wage below the minimum wage or cut into overtime
compensation required by the Act.
