Overview

This policy is intended to describe general guidelines on what is considered appropriate dress for the workplace. These guidelines are not intended to be all-inclusive, but rather should help set the general parameters for appropriate attire, and allow employees to use good judgment and common sense about items not specifically addressed.

Our appearance should always reflect what is appropriate for our job, work setting, and personal safety. Be conservative when selecting work attire, if in doubt whether or not the attire is appropriate, do not wear it and seek advice from your Supervisor or HR representative.

Core Requirements

Acceptable attire includes khakis or Dockers- style twill pants with collared shirt or sweater (for men) or blouse, dressy tee, or sweater (for women). Dressy capris, casual dresses and skirts are also acceptable (for women). Footwear should be selected according to the type of work performed, keeping safety, comfort, and professional appearance in mind. Hosiery/ socks are not required.
