Discount footwear?

[HardknocksUPSer]

Does UPS pay anything towards footwear? If so is it nation wide or just in certain areas of the country? What are the requirements?

I've never heard anything like that. They won't even buy you socks.

no, but save your receipts and you can deduct on your taxes.

You should change your name to Dr. Scholl for the duration of this thread.

Yeah. It's not much though. A few years ago I claimed about $400 in boots for the year and got around 16 bucks.

How big of a deduction are we talkin about for something in that price range?

Yes. Bring the sales receipt to your sup they file an expense report.

Thanks that's 16$ more than before atleast, UPS has made me a right wad, go slave for your money makes it alittle harder to hand out!

*tight

How much will the take off of the total cost? And I'm assuming UPS isn't going to pay a dime unless it's something they want you to wear..

not sure, would have to ask my CPA, which is a write off too

not sure why you would call it being a tight wad. Do you like to give money away?

I feel bad now I was joking. Lol

They do not take anything off. Like mentioned above you can use it as a tax write off. Anything purchased for work (t shirts/shoes/flashlight etc) count.

You mean there's people that do that??? Just go on the internet and tell lies???

I'm still young, I'd rather pay 50$ and my feet hurt alittle than 200$ and not hurt so bad, ask me in about 15 years lol

They've paid me over 100k so far this year that I can use on footwear.

I had a CPA who used to do my taxes. He was very resourceful. I used to break a lot of shoelaces. lol and since UPS doesn't launder, but requires us to wear uniforms, you can take off the cleaning of them. like soap and cleaners if you have them pressed. They have a grooming standard, and you can take off the cost of haircuts. There is more, but I forgot them. Sorry to see that guy leave us.. He smoked way too many cigarettes.
