Clothing, jewelry, or other items that could present a safety hazard are not acceptable in the workplace. Dress needs vary by function. Employees who spend a portion of the day in the field need to dress in a professional manner appropriate to their jobs. Dress for Your Day The City of Lino Lakes Dress for Your Day policy allows for non-uniformed employees to use their best judgment when deciding what to wear to work every day, with some basic guidelines. The idea is that each employee should consider what their workday looks like and dress accordingly. For example, employees are allowed to wear casual clothing on workdays when they do not have council meetings, work sessions, conferences, or meetings with residents or other outside third parties. Employees are still expected to wear clothing appropriate for an office environment, and traditional business attire is always acceptable. There may be days when special visitors are expected at city facilities and all staff may be required to forgo Dress for Your Day and required to wear business casual attire. These days will be announced in advance so employees can plan accordingly. In all instances clothing must be neat, clean, not ripped, heavily frayed or worn, and not expose an excessive amount of skin. The following are examples of clothing and shoe choices that are never acceptable, but it is not an exhaustive list. When in doubt, consult with Human Resources. • Clothing and/or accessories that include offensive/inappropriate images or words, including images/words that are discriminatory or sexual • Sweatpants, sweatshirts, yoga pants and other exercise apparel • Leggings unless combined with a skirt, dress or top that reaches at least mid-thigh • Beach wear and shorts • Overalls • Very short skirts or dresses Page 141 of 166
