Does an employer have the right in California to require
part-time hourly employees to provide certain "tools of
the trade" for himself when he is on the job. One
hardware store is called its part-time and full-time
employees in and gave them a list of tools-of-the-trade
that they must carry while on the job: i.e., Pen, Tape
Measure, Notepad, Keys(they will provide) to locked cases,
Radio and earpiece, Calculator, Nametag ---no exceptions.
They will provide, even though they do not specifically
say this only the Keys, Radio/earpiece, Nametag. The rest
is to be carried and provided by the employee. Is this
requirement legal? Part time employees are those that
work 32/hr/week - Sunday through Wednesday. Seems like a
lot to ask an employee to purchase just to work there.
Pay is 8.00/hr. No even pens to write orders with are
furnished. Curious if they can get away with this.
