Send us a text

Hi there

We hope you’re employment rights week hasn’t been too stressful. Remember, you can use your employment rights to get that stressing colleague to back off. 

Firstly, it would really help us for you to tell other people, about this podcast so we can help more people.  You can find all our contact and support links at the bottom of the show notes where you’re listening to this podcast episode. Just scroll down for links to share the podcast with your family friends and colleagues and if you have an iTunes or now called an Apple Music account… please leave us a review if you like what we are doing.  

This week we’re looking at how dress codes can be used to demand you wear certain clothing at work and how your employment rights can help you to challenge this. 

We look at the differences for you, between a legal dress code requirement or a workplace dress code policy.

And lastly, we take a look at what action you can take, if you feel you are unfairly affected by a dress code policy. 

Our take aways from this week’s episode  are that you are not frightened off from looking at any workplace dress code, if it makes you feel uncomfortable. Although your employer has a legal duty to provide you with protective clothing, which you must wear to do your job - beyond this your employer can have a policy about what you wear, but that policy cannot unnecessarily impose on your legal protected characteristic rights. 

Thanks for listening

Until next week

Have a great employment rights week

Bye for now
