Uniforms
As an employee of the Brew Cafés you will be expected to arrive to work on time and in uniform every day. If you arrive out of uniform, you will be asked to clock out and go home to correct the error in a timely manner. Acceptable Brew attire is outline below:
· Shirts — You are required to purchase a Brown Brew T-shirt prior to your first shift. You may also purchase an Eggplant Brew T-shirt as well. In addition, you will be given an AMU Employee t-shirt. Please be mindful that you are recognized as an AMU and Brew employee when wearing these to other activities. No adjustments may be made to these shirts; they must have sleeves that completely cover the shoulders. New and replacement Brew T-shirts are $12.
· Pants — Full-length jean pants free from holes or tears are required at all times. Shorts, skirts and Capri pants are not allowed. Pants must be worn at the waist and undergarments must not be visible at any time.
· Shoes — Shoes must completely cover the foot. Open toe, open heel, or high heel shoes are not permitted. You are highly encouraged to wear a slip-resistant shoe. If your shoes are a risk to your safety or to the safety of others, your supervisor will ask you to discontinue wearing them to work. Socks, nylons or stockings are required at all times.
· Apron — You will be issued either a half apron or a full bib apron. If you are issued a full bib apron, you must fold it down and wear it as a half apron. You must wear the apron at all times during your shift, with two exceptions. First, if you are leaving the service area to use the restroom. Second, if you are leaving the service area to take out garbage or recyclables. If you arrive to work with a dirty apron, your Supervisor will ask that you launder your apron prior to your next shift. Replacement aprons are $6.15.
· Nametag — Upon hire, you will be issued a name tag indicating your name, major and hometown. This nametag must be worn at all times while on duty. One the back of each name tag will be the AMU Employee discount that must be shown when receiving discounts.
· Hats — Hats may be worn. All hats must be clean and not related to other universities or contain offensive wording or images. Ball caps are permitted. Any other hat that may hinder sight or be a danger to others is not allowed. Santa hats okay.
· Replacements, extras — All Brew T-shirts will be purchased and the cost will be deducted from your paycheck via a payroll deduction form. This form is to be filled out and submitted when the new T-Shirt, or replacement apron, is requested and before it is issued. Cash and personal checks will no longer be accepted for new or replacement uniforms. A request for an extra or replacement uniform piece may be made at any time during the duration of your employment with the Brew Cafés.
· Personal Hygiene — Keeping good personal hygiene is important when working at the Brew. Shoulder length hair must be tied back completely or tucked under a hat. Facial hair must remain neatly trimmed.
· Nails, Jewelry, Earrings — State of Wisconsin Food Code prohibits acrylic or polished nails, as well as rings, with the exception of a smooth band. Wrist jewelry, including watches, is not permitted. Stud/post earrings are permitted, all others are not.
If you do not adhere to these guidelines on two or more occasions, disciplinary action will be taken.
