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.

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

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,

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,
Carolyn Brister

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.
