- Guidance on uniform entitlements, including a comprehensive spreadsheet, is available on the ordering system itself or via the uniform section of myroyalmail.com. You can also ask your manager for copies of relevant documents like the Uniform Code of Practice.
- For new employees, full issue uniform is typically provided if employment exceeds 13 weeks. Casual and agency employees receive appropriate personal protective equipment for their work area.
