The Legal Risk Score of a Dress Code Policy Template is Low

Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:

  • The document's flexibility in allowing management to determine the visibility of tattoos and piercings could lead to inconsistent enforcement, which might result in perceptions of unfair treatment or bias among employees.
  • The provision for religious and cultural exemptions, while inclusive, requires careful management to ensure it is applied fairly and consistently, thereby preventing potential claims of discrimination or exclusion.
  • The policy's ability to be varied by the company at their discretion could introduce uncertainty for employees regarding what is acceptable, potentially leading to confusion and non-compliance.
