<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Personnel Policy <br /> <br />8.10 Professional Appearance <br />Quality service, a positive attitude, good customer relations, and a professional appearance help <br />create and maintain a favorable image of the City. Employees represent the City in their daily <br />contact with residents, consultants, and businesses. The City expects employees to use good <br />judgment in choosing their attire and in their grooming and personal hygiene. <br />With the exception of employees required to wear uniforms or outdoor clothing, employees will <br />adhere to “business casual” attire. <br /> <br />Personal appearance should be appropriate to the nature of the work and contacts with other <br />people and should present a positive image to the public. Clothing, jewelry, or other items that <br />could present a safety hazard are not acceptable in the workplace. Dress needs vary by function. <br />Employees who spend a portion of the day in the field need to dress in a professional manner <br />appropriate to their jobs. <br /> <br />Dress for Your Day <br />The City of Lino Lakes Dress for Your Day policy allows for non-uniformed employees to use <br />their best judgment when deciding what to wear to work every day, with some basic guidelines. <br />The idea is that each employee should consider what their workday looks like and dress <br />accordingly. <br /> <br />For example, employees are allowed to wear casual clothing on workdays when they do not have <br />council meetings, work sessions, conferences, or meetings with residents or other outside third <br />parties. Employees are still expected to wear clothing appropriate for an office environment, and <br />traditional business attire is always acceptable. <br /> <br />There may be days when special visitors are expected at city facilities and all staff may be <br />required to forgo Dress for Your Day and required to wear business casual attire. These days will <br />be announced in advance so employees can plan accordingly. <br /> <br />In all instances clothing must be neat, clean, not ripped, heavily frayed or worn, and not expose <br />an excessive amount of skin. <br /> <br />The following are examples of clothing and shoe choices that are never acceptable, but it is not <br />an exhaustive list. When in doubt, consult with Human Resources. <br /> <br /> Clothing and/or accessories that include offensive/inappropriate images or words, <br />including images/words that are discriminatory or sexual <br /> Sweatpants, yoga pants and other exercise apparel <br /> Leggings unless combined with a skirt, dress or top that reaches at least mid-thigh <br /> Beach wear and shorts <br /> Overalls <br /> Very short skirts or dresses
