Anyway, reading about this ridiculous policy change that made me immediately think of Mad Men and I thought, "I bet our readers would be interested in the legal issues associated with dress codes."

Q: So what's the big deal with dress codes?

A: In the workplace in a province like Ontario, true employees (not independent contractors) are subject to either the Employment Standards Act (Ontario) or their collective agreement, if they're unionized, with few exceptions, retin a over the counter.

Q: Those are the easy examples, Illinois IL Ill. . But what about the hard ones? Retin a over the counter, A: It seems that Muslim dress is a good example of a "hard example." Similar to the issue of the niqab in Canadian Courts that I discussed a while ago, there is an interplay between competing issues in some working environments between the right to express one's religion by dressing a certain way (i.e. North Carolina NC N.C. , fully covered skirts) and health and safety concerns.

Back in the fall, a group of women working for UPS brought an action against their previous employer under the Canadian Human Rights Code because their employment was terminated for their refusal to raise their ankle-length skirts up to their knees while using ladders.

The women had been able to do so for two years without complaint from the management at UPS but after a safety audit, it was found that this kind of clothing was a hazard. The women refused to raise their skirts because, even though they were wearing pants under the skirts, they felt that the pants showed off too much of their body which was against the strict interpretation of Sharia law at the Mosque that they worshiped at.

At the end of the day, the matter was settled confidentially between the employer and the employees, likely with a cash settlement to the terminated employees or a reinstatement to their jobs, retin a over the counter. However, both the Canadian and Ontario Human Rights Codes are interesting because the power of both tribunals to make orders is much more far reaching than a court and as such, the flexibility of the remedies available to them can make the tribunals more attractive as a vehicle for effective change regarding human rights in the workplace.

Q: Is there some sort of moral I can take from all of this talk about dress codes in the work place?

A: Yes. The basic rule is that the dress code should apply to everyone. As such, I wholeheartedly recommend instituting a policy whereby all employees are required to burlap bags on Fridays as a statement against dress codes (or solidarity with our sisters over at Focus on the Family and their newfound freedom to wear pants).
