Presented by John B. Phillips, Jr. and Kara Shea
March 13, 2008

Even though the live seminar on this topic has already taken place, you can still hear it! For your convenience, we've recorded it on CD and audio stream, so you can listen when you have time or share it with colleagues in your organization.
Spring is just around the corner! Unfortunately, so are shorts, jeans,
T-shirts, tank tops, and other informal attire in the workplace. And those skimpy clothes can reveal body piercings and tattoos -- things you may prefer they wear to Bonnaroo -- not the office.
But use caution before asking your employees to cover up. Edward Rangel had tattoos on his wrists when he was hired as a waiter. Although the restaurant had a dress code prohibiting employees from having visual tattoos, he worked there for six months without complaint until a new manager was hired, saw the tattoos, and fired him when he refused to conceal them. He filed a discrimination charge with the EEOC. Result? The restaurant settled for $150,000 and agreed to "substantial policy and procedural changes."
Learn the pitfalls of dress code policies by participating in the popular HR Hero audio conference, Tattoos and Nose Rings! Is Your Dress Code Legal? In just 90 minutes, nationally-renowned employment law attorneys John Phillips and Kara Shea will explain when the fashion police can and can't take a stand. You'll get clear, straight-forward to questions such as:
- What clothing, if any, should be mandated or prohibited in a company appearance code?
- What discrimination issues come into play when devising dress codes? Is it discriminatory to require female employees to wear makeup while prohibiting it for men? Are women allowed to wear long hair if men are told to keep it above the ears? Can you ban facial hair and head coverings if religious beliefs require them?
- What are the harassment issues to consider? How can you outlaw offensive slogans and artwork on workers' clothes so that they're not seen as contributing to a hostile work environment?
- How should tattoos and piercings be addressed? What are appropriate reasons for limiting them? Can you require that tattoos be covered and rings and studs be removed when the employee is on the job?
- What's the latest regarding court decisions and policies?
- Is it ever necessary to run an appearance policy by the union? In November 2007, the Sacramento County (CA) Sheriff's Department instituted a a "no-show" policy for tattoos. The dress code prompted the Deputy Sheriffs' Association to say it should have been consulted before the policy was put in place.
- How do safety rules affect appearance codes?
- How can micro skirts, visible under garments, tank tops, spaghetti straps, saggy pants, etc. be regulated?
