Mandatory dress code at work ?

   

In Germany, a recent court verdict regarding appropriate dress code at the place of work required male employees who want to grow a beard to come to work with it trimmed and neat, and women are required to wear bras to work, not only that, but the bra must be white or skin color (unless the woman wears a t-shirt on tp of the bra and under her outer layer of clothing, in order that it not be seen through the outer layer of clothing. Also employers are permitted to request that employees have normal length of finger nails.

These demands by employers, ruled the court, "are not infringing on personal rights but rather form a normal ethical dress code which is proper in the place of work". 

The court did however rule that employees are permitted to dye their hair any color, are permitted to put nail polish on and wear wigs.

 The Israeli labor laws would do well to adopt these rulings too, especially since many employers do not. This just proves that it isn’t a religious thing, but normal common sense in a place of work, where people should feel that they are at work and not on the beach or in the gym at best or tel baruch.
