MA’AM/SIR,
Good day!
Ito po ang mga nais ko pong itanong.
1. Ang rubber shoes po ba ay nire-require po sa isang warehouse for security purposes daw po sa isang empleyado?
2. Tama po bang pagbabawalan ng isang warehouse management ang mga empleyado na umupo sa isang warehouse na pinapasukan nila?
3. At kung wala na daw po gagawin, lalabas na lang muna ang empleyado, para sa labas na lang umupo?
Your immediate feedback is highly appreciated.
REPLY: Thank you Good afternoon! The employer may require employees to wear rubber shoes if it is in the company policy. Howe-ver, if the company views rubber shoes as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and requires a certain brand or type, they shall provide it for their employees.
