Common use of Professional Attire Clause in Contracts

Professional Attire. The Rochester City School District’s sole mission is to educate all the children entrusted to our care and custody so that they may become successful citizens of our community, our country, and our world. That mission, and the public nature of our work, requires us to be role models for our children, and also require us to interact effectively with parents, community and government leaders, employees and vendors of other organizations, representatives of the news media, and the general public. We are all professionals, and the success of our mission depends in part on establishing and maintaining a professional business atmosphere, which is determined not only by professional conduct but also by the image we project. All employees are therefore expected to dress in attire that is neat and clean as well as consistent with the nature of their position and the particular work they perform. What constitutes appropriate attire is initially up to the good judgment of each employee. Employees who are in doubt or have a question about specific attire are to consult with their supervisor4 and abide by his or her advice. A supervisor’s advice regarding attire will not be based merely on taste, and will respect workplace rights relating to bona fide religious observance. Employees, who are inappropriately attired, in the judgment of the supervisor, will be directed to go home and return to work in appropriate attire. Refusal to follow such a directive will constitute insubordination. A subsequent occurrence will be treated as an unpaid leave of absence. Employees are also expected to observe good habits of grooming and personal hygiene at all times.
