Hmmm. I wonder what this means for something like a boot allowance? My employer thinks a pair of CSA steel toe boots still costs $100. Any real boots that won’t make your feet bleed after a couple hours will set you back $250+ and when you wear them all day every day for work you’re lucky to get a whole year out of them.

Our company uses their purchasing power to buy boots cheaper. They are provided upon request, although it is a taxable benefit and the selection is curated. But generally they are all really good boots. If you can't find a pair you love, you can request an exemption and pick a specific pair that fits you.

Agreed. Sadly my employer only gives $50/year. But I know exactly what you mean.
