We do have a dress code of sorts, it is part of our Uniform and
Appearance regulation, and reads:
d. NON-MILITARY PERSONNEL: DA civilians, contract
employees, volunteers, and students will maintain dress and appearance
in conformance with acceptable professional standards, reflecting
positively on the MEDDAC. The MEDDAC work environment varies from
warehouse inventory management to formal office/clinic settings.
Civilian employees will maintain a professional appearance in the
workplace. They must be conservative and in good taste. Civilian
employees will use good judgment to ensure they wear appropriate attire
while working on wards and with patients. No facial jewelry will be
worn during duty hours.
(1) In general, a shirt or blouse that reveals a bare
midriff, revealing (sheer or skimpy) clothing, shorts, athletic clothes,
beach type sandals or thongs, clothing that displays offensive or
obscene printed material and beach/outdoor activity, gym, exercise or
lounge clothing are considered inappropriate. Additionally, clothes
normally worn as undergarments will not be worn as outer garments nor
partially seen through the clothing. All clothing will be clean and in
good repair.
(2) Supervisors will establish standards that are
conducive to comfort, productivity, health, safety and appropriate
contact with patients/clients or customers. Staff will dress
appropriately for the work environment they are assigned, (i.e.,
administrative personnel - clothing appropriate for an office setting;
personnel working on wards/clinic staff - hospital whites or scrubs;
laborers - appropriate work uniform for labor work environment).

Subject: Dress code query
This question is for any institution or office whose employees are in
direct contact with the public (e.g., library, research room, or
government office) and who also need to climb step stools and lift heavy
books as part of their job responsibilities...
Does anyone have a dress code in place for men and women who work in
this kind of environment?
Right now, my staff has occasionally been called to task for
"inappropriate wear" by my supervisors at times when I, frankly, see
nothing "inappropriate." I have requested that HR look into
establishing a dress code policy in City Hall to avoid situations where
employees are criticized for something where no guidance has been
provided. We will be meeting to discuss this next week.
Any examples or samples of dress code policies forwarded in advance of
that meeting would be most welcomed.
Thank you.
