605 - DRESS CODE

Employees are expected to maintain a clean, neat, and appropriate appearance at all times. It is the responsibility of DPI Supervisors to provide feedback and/or require correction to any employee who comes to work inappropriately dressed. If there is a conflict with this policy and an employee’s religion, a conversation regarding religious accommodation should occur.

The DPI standards are: 

  • Clothing must be clean, unwrinkled and free of stains and/or holes

  • Clothing must not be excessively tight and/or revealing

  • Clothing/hair styles/make-up must be within traditionally acceptable boundaries

  • Clothing must be free of words, slogans and/or messaging

  • Cologne and perfume are discouraged (and prohibited in production areas)

 Associates. Appropriate dress will be dictated by the specific assignment and client needs. Questions should be directed to the employee’s DPI Supervisor or Human Resources.

Janitors. Janitors should dress in accordance with the requirements of the job assignment, obeying all safety rules that might require protective equipment to be worn. Janitors must present a professional appearance at all times. (Standards may vary by customer).  Janitors are required to wear their Company-issued name tag/access card when required by the Customer. Failure to report to work with the proper name tag/access card may result in disciplinary action being taken.

Security Officers. Officers should dress in accordance with the requirements of their job assignment, obeying all safety rules that might require protective equipment to be worn. Officers must present a professional appearance at all times. (Standards may vary by customer).   

  • Uniforms must be worn at all times (including proper accessories as noted below)

  • Hair (including facial hair), must be trimmed and neat. Hairstyles (both male and female) should be worn in a manner that will avoid safety risks, specifically: close to the head in a bun or other style that prevents it from being grabbed in a conflict.

  • Excessive jewelry and/or visible body piercings and excessive visible tattoos are not permitted.

  • Uniforms are to be worn only in the performance of job duties.

Employees are responsible for maintaining their assigned uniforms. Uniforms are to be laundered on a regular basis. Uniforms should be worn pressed, with shirttails tucked into trousers. Officers must wear a black belt, black socks and comfortable, clean, skid-proof black boots. 

In the case of a uniform becoming badly stained or torn, the employee is responsible for securing a new one from their Supervisor before reporting for their next duty assignment. 

Terminating employees are expected to return their uniforms, in reasonable, good condition when collecting their final paycheck. The Company will pursue legal action (small claims court) if uniforms are not returned. Security Officers are required to wear their Company-issued name tag/access card when required by the Customer. Failure to report to work with your proper nametag/access card may result in disciplinary action being taken.

Staff. In general, the dress code for staff is “business casual” except in areas that must comply with health and safety regulations. Sales roles and staff who meet with outside vendors and/or community partners are required to maintain a more formal/professional dress standard. 

@2021 The DPI Group. Revision Dates: 02/10/2021; 03/31/2021 - The policies do not form a contract, express or implied, nor do they guarantee employment for any specific length of time. Employment with The DPI Group or any subsidiary is at-will. This means that either the employee or employer can terminate the employment relationship at any time, for any reason. No statements made by any supervisor or manager can alter this at-will relationship. The at-will relationship can only be changed through a signed written agreement that specifically sets forth the terms between the employee and the President/Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
