  • 1.  Safety Boots and Weld Helmet Reibursement Policy

    Posted 01-03-2024 13:37

    We are looking at creating a safety shoe reimbursement program. I am curious about what others are doing, their policy, and how they administer it.

    We are also looking at a weld helmet reimbursement policy. We currently provide welders with a basic weld helmet. We are looking at potentially helping them pay for an auto-darkening weld helmet. I am curious if others are doing this and what the details of their program are.

    Hello Brian,

     

    We have a successful Safety Boot program where we offer $100 a year.  We have a local vendor that allows our employees to purchase boots and they bill us for the $100.  Red Wing is generally a supplier that would participate in this type of program.  But there are generally very expensive.  We have a vendor named Work Wear Boots that is glad to work with us.  Not sure if they are a national supplier, but it might be work checking.  Anything over the $100 is the responsibility of the employee is required to pay at the time of the purchase.

     

    During our annual benefit open enrollment meeting we give each employee a certificate that allows them to purchase the boots.  And of course we have a simple tracking process to ensure each employee only purchases 1 pair each year.  For new employees, we offer the benefit after 6 months.

     

    We don't have an official Weld Helmet program, but would allow an employee to purchase at one our suppliers and we'll do a payroll deductions over 2 payroll periods.  Of course we would need the payroll deduction authorization completed in advance of the purchase.

     

    Hope this helps.

     

    Sincerely,

    We have a similar arrangement with Boot Barn.  We hand out $100 vouchers to employees on their first and 2nd anniversaries with the company and then $250 vouchers each anniversary after that.  We do not have a weld helmet reimbursement program, but we do reimburse employees $100 if they get prescription safety goggles. 

     

    Sincerely,

    Wow, Boot Barn works with you.  Good to know.  And I like the idea of the prescription Safety Galsses.

    We also do $100/year for either boots or prescription safety glasses (employee's choice).  I love the idea of vouchers.  I need to see if there is a boot barn around here.  Our employees are scattered all over the state, so getting them to one place for a day to do boots would be hard.

    We don't do anything for weld helmets, but we do allow employees to purchase personal tools (and could be a weld helmet) through the company and it comes out of their checks over no more than 4 weeks.
