From eyebrow piercings to "Daisy Duke" shorts, tube tops to flip flops, micro skirts to arm-length tattoos, maintaining a professional-looking workforce is a growing challenge for many California employers.

In today's super-casual society, striking the proper balance between requiring appropriate dress among your workers and respecting their legal rights can be very tricky—especially among younger employees who may never have worn "business clothes." It's a widespread problem: Recent studies have found that about half of Americans in their 20s sport a body piercing somewhere besides their ears, and one in four Americans ages 18 to 50 are tattooed.

Join us for an informative audio conference on June 2 and learn what you can restrict while still staying within the law.

YOU AND YOUR COLLEAGUES WILL LEARN:

• The key rules you should always include in a California dress code policy—and what you should avoid
• What steps you can take to prevent visible tattoos and piercings, without overstepping your legal bounds
• How to adopt appearance policies that keep younger workers happy without upsetting their more experienced colleagues who prefer the "suit and tie" approach
• How to tailor your dress code to fit workers in different types of jobs, from the warehouse to the corner offices
• When you should—or must—make dress code exceptions for workers who cite religious, cultural, or health reasons for their appearance
• How much detail you should include in your written appearance policies
• Proven tips for effectively communicating your dress code expectations to workers
• How to deal with employees who consistently push the dress code envelope—and when you should bring in your attorney instead of confronting an employee yourself
