Policy Number: 1-102-5
Approved by:        Date Issued: 6/4/2002
Revised by:         Last Revision: 12/07/07

POLICY:
Personal appearance is an important part of the way employees represent “company” to the
public. Customers form an opinion of the Company from the employee’s appearance and
attitude. Neat and conservative attire creates a favorable impression. Employees should refrain
from eating, smoking, or chewing gum in the presence of customers. Such actions may be
offensive to customers and portray an unacceptable image.

A neat professional appearance is a requirement at “company”. It is expected that all employees
will exercise good judgment and dress appropriately for the job. The following factors should be
considered:

        1. Maintaining the highest standards relating to personal hygiene, including regular
           bathing and use of deodorant, brushing of teeth and using mouthwash as necessary,
           maintaining clean hands and fingernails at all times and the moderate use of
           cosmetics.
        2. The nature of the work.
        3. Safety considerations, such as necessary precautions when working near machinery.
        4. The nature of the employee's public contact, if any, and the normal expectations of
           outside parties with whom the employee will work.
        5. The prevailing practices of other workers in similar jobs.
        6. The requirement of the Company's management that all employees are expected to
           exercise good judgment and dress appropriately for their jobs.
        7. Any bandage worn must be kept clean and changed as often as necessary or
           appropriate. An employee with an open sore or wound is not permitted to handle
           any food products and may be restricted from other activities, especially in the
           health care area.

In-House Dress Code Guidelines

As representatives of “company”, all employees should be neat, well groomed and dressed in
job-appropriate attire, which reflects the company's interest in projecting a comfortable, yet
business-like image. Employees should use common sense regarding work attire and refrain
from wearing sloppy or overly provocative clothing to the office.

Specifically prohibited are:

      Ripped, torn or faded clothing.

      Clothing designed specifically for sporting, recreation and/or leisure activities (such as
       sweats, shorts, hats, beachwear, tennis outfits, flip-flops etc.)

      Sleepwear (such as pajama bottoms)

      Clothing that reveals the midriff, cleavage or chest hair.
      Clothing more appropriate for evening (such as excessively short miniskirts, low-cut tank
       or halter tops, backless dresses, sheer clothing, etc.).

Tattoos and piercings, other than ear piercings, should be covered at all times.

Note that dress code may vary from department to department, and from day to day. Consult
with your department Manager to determine the appropriate dress code for your area.

If at any time you are unsure whether your garment is appropriate for work, ask before wearing.

Any employee who reports to work dressed in inappropriate attire will be sent home to change,
with wages deducted for the time away from work.
