Ok, im due to get my uniform for work in the next 2weeks. We have to order a shirt, and my boss wants me to order trousers, thing is these trousers only go up to a 32" leg, i need a 36"!!
He said to me, "oh cant u order some and make them longer", shutup.
So then he goes on to say, well you'l have to get some new ones then, i had a look today and they are going to cost me £28! a) they are for working in and b) Im pregnant and they wont fit me in a month or so anyway!
The girls in work have said that work should pay for them, im just wondering, what are the chances of work paying for them? Anyone else had the same problem?

:no: my manager who's just gone on mat leave had to buy all her own stuff.
secondly i would have thought they would provide a maternity uniform, though whether they should make you pay for this is argueable. i'm not sure how it happens at my work, but i know if you require any additional uniform to that already provided (which is free of charge) is provided to you at a cost.
have you asked whether you're expected to get your own clothes? or could they not let you wear a pair of plain trousers or something which you'll presumably have to buy for yourself anyway?
