Live Webinar: Work Appearance, Dress Codes and Employer's Liability for Being Out of Fashion When: Wednesday September 22, 2021 - 01:00 PM Duration: 60 Minutes.
What is “appropriate” work appearance? Do you have the right to tell employees what to wear? This has become a sometimes volatile issue. Employees wear message in support of “social justice” issues such as “Black Lives Matter” and others wear contrary views. Opposing political message on buttons, hats, shirts, or COVID masks generate arguments, and complaints by customers.
