Uniforms, vehicle and travel entitlements

Find information about payments for uniforms, vehicles and travel.

As part of their job, employees may be required to:

  • wear uniforms
  • drive vehicles and/or
  • travel to other locations.

In these situations, an employee may be entitled to a payment or repayment, depending on the industry and the job they do.

Employees required to buy work related items can’t be forced by their employer to use their wages to pay for these items, if the requirement is unreasonable.

If you're covered by an enterprise agreement or other registered agreement, payments for uniforms, vehicles and travel will be contained in your agreement. To find an enterprise agreement, go to the Fair Work Commission website.

Find more information about payments for uniforms, vehicles and travel in your award by selecting from the list below.
