Common use of Maintenance Provisions Clause in Contracts

Maintenance Provisions. It is the employee’s responsibility to keep his/her protective footwear in operable condition to meet their original performance standards. Protective footwear must be worn at all times, unless directed otherwise by the Department due to a scheduled work activity change, such as when an employee is attending a class. If, during the course of performing assigned duties, an employee’s protective footwear is damaged beyond use as a result of a single incident that is not due to negligence on the part of the employee (not due to normal wear and tear) and replacement is warranted prior to the expiration of 24 months, an exception to the reimbursement schedule may be available at the discretion of the appointing authority and, upon said replacement, a new two year reimbursement increment will begin.
