Is the employee or employer required to pay for uniforms at a restaurant?

Not always. There are IRS rules that permit an employee to deduct the costs of certain uniforms if costs are not covered by the employer.
You should contact your state labor department. For example, in the State of Kansas, it is illegal for an employer to require you to purchase a uniform. A uniform is for the company's benefit, not yours.
But each state is different and the only way to find out is call the state labor department.

∙ 16y agoYes. If terms of your employement require you to wear a certain outfit or uniform the employee could be required to pay for this uniform. Because the employee had to pay for the uniform it can possibly used as a tax write off due to business needs.

∙ 13y agoYes, they can. Company uniforms are important in some circumstances, as a means of identifying legitimate employees who have access to areas that are not open to the general public or have other special privileges. They are also a means of strengthening a company image. For example, the employees of the United Parcel Service wear uniforms. You can't deliver parcels for them if you refuse to wear the uniform.

∙ 11y agoYes they can. Many employers do in all kinds of work. Take a look at the teachers at your school. Notice how they are dressed in the same style ? They are told to look professional. Every one has a dress code to go by. If you worked for Disney they tell you how long your hair can be and how much makeup to wear. Men can't have beards. Get use to it if you want to keep a job. This is the way the world is in real time.
There are also safety requirements that must be met in many jobs, requiring the employer to provide specific rules.

Can an employer require an employee to pay for uniforms and then require their return upon termination without reimbursement?
ANSWER:Apparently, it isn't enough for some employers to force their workers into a wardrobe of polyester, hairnets and sensible shoes. Now they want those poorly dressed souls to pay for the privilege! Well, your great state of California simply won't let them get away with it. Under California law, an employer that requires its employees to wear uniforms is responsible for providing those uniforms -- and maintaining them in good repair. Of course, this means that the uniforms belong to the boss, and the boss can charge the employee a reasonable deposit while the uniform is in the employee's hands. An employee who doesn't return the uniform when asked will find that his employer can legally keep the deposit or deduct the cost of the uniform from the employee's last paycheck. But I don't imagine your husband would insist on keeping his uniform -- unless it's really a glamorous ensemble. Other U.S. states' laws may not offer such broad protection for employees. Contact your state department of labor for more information.

Why is the hourly cost of a labor for the business higher than the amount stated as wage paid to the employee?
The employers' hourly costs would include a pro rated share of any longer-term benefits paid on the employees' behalf, such as insurance, unpaid leave (which reduces employer efficiency). It would NOT include taxes deducted from employee paychecks, since those are costs to the employee, not the employer. You could include other employee-related costs, but they are not considered "wages", such as the cost of uniforms, travel on business, etc., but rather "business expenses".
