Purpose:
The purpose of this policy is to inform all employees that they are to project a clean and professional personal appearance. The University recognizes that different applications of this policy may be necessary depending on the degree of customer contact, nature of work and safety issues. Therefore, this policy provides only general guidance. The final decision as to what constitutes appropriate professional appearance is the responsibility of management.Policy:
Employees are expected
to maintain high standards of personal cleanliness and to present a neat,
professional appearance at all times. Employees should follow departmental
guidelines in regard to professional dress standards. The University is
confident each employee will use his or her best judgment in following
acceptable cleanliness and dress standards. Employees who choose to wear
fragrances in the workplace are highly encouraged to be aware of the sensitivities
or allergies of their coworkers.
Individual departments have the authority to define appropriate professional
dress standards for their employees. Some positions may require employees
to wear special clothing or uniforms.
If an employee is requested by management to return home to change into
acceptable attire, accrued annual leave will be used to offset the employee's
absence. If accrued annual leave is not available, the employee will not
be paid for the time taken to change clothing and return. Repeated violations
of this policy could be cause for disciplinary action.
