Hi
Working as a nursery nurse so not on fantastic pay.
The management give us one logo t shirt, and any others we have to pay for, we have to wear black flat shoes and black trousers and we have to wash our uniform at home.
Can I claim for any of the costs involved?
Heres hoping we can
many thanks in advance

No, because those are NORMAL clothes and not specialist uniforms.
You MAY be able to get tax relief for the logo-embroidered shirts, but only at 20% of the cost. Possibly only for cleaning them.
