Uniform Allowance

  • NEW POLICY UPDATE: NJ TRANSIT Yard and Passenger (Revenue) employees now have a yearly uniform allowance of $660.00 and mix and match Yard and Revenue uniform items within one (1) uniform order.

    • Yearly uniform allowance is $660.00 to be used on any combination of Yard and/or Revenue uniform items.

    • Employees are eligible to purchase uniform pieces once per year, expending their allowance in one (1) total purchase.

    • Multiple allowance-based uniform orders placed by the same employee throughout the year are not permitted, unless the employee is making direct payment to the Contractor.

    • If the total cost of the uniform order exceeds the $660.00 allowance, the employee is responsible for paying the difference directly to the Contractor.

    • Employees will not receive compensation or credit if they do not expend the full $660.00 allowance.

    • Any portion of the allowance not expended in the single yearly purchase is forfeited by the employee and will remain with NJ TRANSIT.

    • Yard uniform pieces are available to all conductors, regardless of classification, and are included under this unified allowance policy.
