It apears our staff (co-op building) is occasionally putting their personal clothing in to be cleaned with the uniform dry cleaning account.
Is this acceptable?
Tammy this is very easily resolved, have your property manager (or whomever is managing your property) contact the dry cleaning company and explain to them that if personal items are put in with work items they will not be paid for those items. Also send a memo to your staff explaining that it has come to your attention that personal items are being put in with building items and it will not be tolerated. Everyone has now been put on notice so you can take corrective action from here on it if it is repeated (staff suspension etc) Hope I was of some help as that is how I would handle the situation.
I guess the first question is do you have proof? copies, photos of ticket etc. As a PM/RM, I do not think it is acceptable as their is a distinct difference between a work uniform and personal clothing (personal clothing is not part of your work uniform). Larger buildings that have a Resident Manager may opt to put his/her clothing on an account as shirt/tie etc, it the building specifies the dress code. Hope this helped.

The manager at the dry cleaner remembers the personal items being put into doorman account by someone claiming to be a staff member. The person evidently came in person to the cleaners to drop them off instead of leaving them for pick-up at the bldg as is the norm.

It has been going on for some time. I think some very quick excuses were made and the board more or less turned their eye. Perhaps because it is not clear to them it is happening.
