Administrative employees and employees that have consistent contact
with the public and residents are expected to dress in a manner that is
normally acceptable in similar business establishments. Employees may
not wear suggestive attire, jeans, athletic clothing, t-shirts, novelty
buttons, hats, headwear, and similar items of casual attire that do not
present a businesslike appearance.

unkempt hair is not permissible regardless of the length.

visible during work hours.

(other than regular earrings, limited to two pairs) may not be visible or
used during work hours. This restriction specifically applies to items
such as gauges and bars used with body piercings.

required to wear enclosed footwear with non-skid soles. Open
footwear, such as sandals, and flip-flops, must not be worn if employed
in direct resident service areas and food service areas.

a more casual fashion than is normally required. On these occasions,
employees are still expected to present a neat, professional, businesslike
image.

policy. Your community may have additional dress code guidelines. Failure to
abide by the guidelines of this policy or your communityÊs guidelines may lead to
