Can a company do this?

[Kudos]

You could mark your underwear in advance. Skid marks would stop them inspecting again

I wonder if I were to hire a cleaner I could add this clause to her contract, I'd be horrified if my pants started to go missing so it's only safe I check..

Time to chat to the OH methinks

...so Murphy...tell me why have one of your wellies got a 'L' on it and the other an 'R'
That'll be so I can tell which is for me left foot and which is for me right...
Really...that's ingenious...I've often wondered why my missus has C&A on her knickers...now I know...

The contract states that if you wear underwear it can't be certain brands that the company sells, they say that you have to agree to random underwear checks, this means that random members of staff have to show security the tag on there underwear to prove it is a different make to those stored in the warehouse.

Can they legally do this?

I wouldn't compound the problem by getting all in a quiver. Just string them along and you'll hit the bullsye..


Seriously,.. good luck....

speak to your brief

It seems a bit smalls minded but I don't think it's a legal matter.

The right is contractual and they can't touch you - only look. It's to stop people walking out with 24 pairs of Y fronts on. If you refuse - you've signed to contract so you can be sacked

Agree with previous posters, people will try and whip stuff throiugh security amd are very ingenious about it - favourite examples - Pigs carcase ( on a motorbike!) Vauxhall straight 6 cylinder head, a shower unit ( taken out of the showers and leaking), toilet seats, and abig hairy bloke accused of stealing teh basque je was wearing under his shirt only for them to find out it wasn't one of th eemployers... Nice! Let's not even go near the banana sandwiches

Maybe this is what he is worried about? No more lacy g strings under your work clothes OP!

See post from BOF 9 hours earlier. Have you been 'liquidising' again?

Same punchline ...different characters...again it's the small details that that seem to throw you...

don't know about the legality but when I was at uni I held a job dealing with the stock for Gap in a couple of their stores - the requirement was that when working you had to wear their clothes (not a big issue as you'd get 50% off)

at the start of every shift they'd log what you were wearing and check at the end of every shift that you were wearing the same clothes - they'd only check the waistband of your kex so you won't have to drop your trousers in the middle of the store in front of customers

it even applied to the store manager who usually wore pretty skimpy g-strings

[jimslops]

Most odd.

Did the interview panel look like these guys?

I saw that episode years ago but I'm pretty sure the business model was

Stage 1: Steal underpants
Stage 2:
Stage 3: Profit

[C3BER]

I have a legal right to search you, even down to a full body search if required in my line of work but a local store detective checking knickers I doubt very much.
