this pay policy to date. If agencies purchase the tools, they would treat that as an expense not as a benefit to the employee.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Wyoming is currently in the middle of a trades study and one common theme has been our tool allowance policy. If you have a few moments, the following questions would greatly help us move forward:
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

1.<span style="font-size:7.0pt"> </span>What state are you with and do you have a tool allowance policy for mechanics or other skilled trades positions?
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="gmail-msolistparagraph" style="mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:.5in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">
2.<span style="font-size:7.0pt"> </span>Do you supply mechanic tools or require them to supply their own?<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="gmail-msolistparagraph" style="mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:.5in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">
3.<span style="font-size:7.0pt"> </span>If you do have an allowance, how much per year is this allowance? Do you spread the amount out month to month or do a once a year payment?
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="gmail-msolistparagraph" style="mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:.5in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">
4.<span style="font-size:7.0pt"> </span>Who assesses what a fair tool allowance is and how often is this revisited?
