What is mufti pay?

Mufti pay refers to a practice in some organizations, particularly in educational institutions, where employees receive a compensation allowance for wearing casual clothing instead of formal uniforms. This system often applies to teachers or staff who are allowed to dress casually on specific days, commonly known as "mufti days." The intention behind mufti pay is to promote a relaxed environment while still maintaining a level of professionalism. The specifics can vary greatly between institutions and regions.
