Other than emergency services, are employers allowed to make employees shave facial hair?

it depends in what area of employment you are. They may make it as a requirement in their policies.If you like to wear a beard, make sure that the place you want to be employed in, doesnt have that kind of policy under 'employees requirements'.Other than emergency services, are employers allowed to make employees shave facial hair?
they can have a dress code that bans it yes if u have facial hair for religuous reasons u can challenge





personally i think such policies are bullshit its none elses buisness how u waer ur hair but law diasgrees with meOther than emergency services, are employers allowed to make employees shave facial hair?
I doubt it, but I would consult a labour lawyer to find out for sure what your rights are. As long as facial hair is kept neat I can't see the problem, unless it could be considered a safety hazard, such as if you worked in a manufacturing setting and it could be caught in machinery or there was danger of it catching on fire or something like that. If you're in an office I guess it would just be a matter of ensuring you present a professional image for the company, especially if you see clients. If it's just a matter of your boss's personal preference and it was not part of your original employment agreement, I think that would be a violation of your rights personally.
If that was part of the deal when you became an employee - YES.


You can always quit . . .
yes
consult the dress code manuel
