Information

Open Arms Health Care is committed to maintaining a professional and consistent appearance across all employees. We all represent OAHC and want to present a shared identity when working.  That shared identity is aimed to be associated with consistency, professionalism, safety, and approachability.  To further this initiative, OAHC has partnered with fashion and apparel leader Luly Yang to bring this vision to life. The remainder of this document (less the section on existing apparel) discusses the uniforms created from this relationship.

This policy applies to all employees, including full-time, part-time, and new hires, across all departments.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

How many installments will come out of my payroll check?

All uniform purchases will be deducted in four installments through payroll once an employee has recieved their order.  The deductions will be itemized under "T-shirt Deduction" on their paystub.

  • Payments are deducted through payroll once you have picked up your items. The deduction will start on the earliest Wednesday from pick-up and reflected in that corresponding Friday check.

  • Neither cash nor card payments are accepted.

  • If employment ends before full payment is complete, the remaining balance will be deducted from the final paycheck.

  • It is encouraged that you pick up your uniforms, but in the event, you want a colleague to pick up your uniforms, your colleague will be asked to sign a form upon pick-up.

Existing Apparel

Any OAHC related apparel that has been acquired over time can be worn to represent the company. Please ensure such apparel fits comfortably and is not torn, bleach stained or discolored. 

 

Appearance Standards

Uniforms must be worn in a clean, neat, and presentable manner while working.

Alterations to uniforms (logos, patches, modifications) are not permitted unless approved by management.

All DSPs must wear a visible article of the uniform on the outermost layer while working (in the homes, at the ATF and in the community). A hat does not count as the one required visible article. Failure to do so will result in disciplinary action.  See Uniform Policy.

Administrative staff may wear business casual attire but are encouraged to wear OAHC apparel at events or meetings representing the company.

 

Policy Compliance

Failure to wear the appropriate uniform or misuse of the uniform program may result in verbal or written warnings and continued noncompliance may lead to suspension in accordance with Company policy.

Continued noncompliance may result in removal from your scheduled shift and loss of pay for that period, in accordance with Company policy.
