What
the statutes mean
If you require your staff to wear uniforms
or have policies concerning your employee’s hair styles, you must tell a
job applicant about your policies during the interview or at the same time you
offer them a job.
Practical advice
This law can actually save
you quite a bit of grief. Chiropractors have a wide range of standards when it
comes to what their employees are allowed to wear to work. The expectation for
your chiropractic office may be very different than a store at the shopping mall.
Do not be fooled by what the person wears to the interview. While most people
dress professionally for an interview, they need to be told what is appropriate
for day to day work.
Statute excerpt103.14 Grooming requirement;
notification. Each employer shall, at the time of hiring, notify each employee
about any hairstyle, facial hair or clothing requirement.
