(2) Computing Allowances.
(a) For the purpose of determining uniform allowances, the following definitions apply to
uniformed personnel:
(i) Permanent - one whose appointment is not time-limited and who is in uniform on a
regular or intermittent basis. This category includes permanent seasonal appointments and
Student Career Experience Program (SCEP) employees. This includes career and career
conditional personnel regardless of whether they are full time, part time or subject to furlough.
(ii) Temporary - one whose appointment is time-limited, including Student Temporary
Employment Program (STEP) employees. This person may wear the uniform on a regular or
intermittent basis. Temporary personnel are divided into single-season temporary and multi-
season temporary categories for initial allowance computations. Single-season means that a
temporary will only need a uniform for a single season. Multi-season means the person will be
working multiple seasons within the first calendar year of employment.
(b) Initial allowances are authorized for permanent and temporary personnel when they are
first placed in a uniformed position or placed in uniformed position after having been out of
uniform for 2 consecutive fiscal years or more since the end of their last allowance period.
Allowance amounts for permanent and temporary personnel are listed in Table 4. Initial
allowances, based on the uniform allowance schedule, must be granted in the full amount.
(c) If a person changes status or uniform category during the year, he or she may be
authorized an increased allowance to help defray the cost of the new or additional items (See
Table 4 for examples).
(d) The initial allowance for permanent personnel will be authorized from the date the
UAA form is approved until the following 30 September (the end of the fiscal year). This initial
allowance will not be prorated. UAA forms submitted to the uniform contractor during
September will have an automatic effective date of 1 October (or later as specified on the
allowance form).
(e) The replacement allowance for permanent personnel is issued for the full authorized
amount at the beginning of each fiscal year. This allowance is effective for a full fiscal year.
