When does a porter need NOT be in uniform?

A porter is expected to wear a uniform to maintain a professional appearance and represent the company when they are on duty or actively fulfilling their responsibilities. Being off duty signifies that the porter is no longer representing the company in a professional capacity, allowing them to dress in casual attire without the requirement of maintaining uniform standards.

In contrast, during breaks, attending meetings, or training sessions, the porter is still associated with their role; thus, wearing a uniform is generally required to ensure they remain recognizable as employees and maintain a consistent brand image. When off duty, the employee's attire does not impact their professional responsibilities or the perception of the company since they are not actively engaged in work.
