A Florida city recently made some drastic changes to his employee dress code. Two new items worth noting:
Employees must now wear underwear and deodorant.
The dress code is part of a new, three-page policy the city council of Brooksville hopes will increase professionalism, Tampa Bay Online reports. Revealing clothing and body piercings are now expressly banned, and employees are told to observe “strict personal hygiene,” including the deodorant clause.
Written under the heading of “unacceptable attire”: “the observable lack of undergarments and exposed undergarments.”
The underwear mandate and the other rules were approved by a council vote of 4-1, with the city’s mayor, oddly enough, as the lone dissenter. He said the requirement “takes away freedom of choice.”
