For a sample answer to Question 18-2, go to Appendix G at the end of this text. 18-3 Spotlight on the Civil Rights Act-Discrimination Based on Gender. Burlington Coat Factory Ware- house, Inc., had a dress code that required male salesclerks to wear business attire consisting of slacks, a shirt, and a necktie. Female salesclerks, by contrast, were required to wear a smock so that customers could readily identify them. Karen O'Donnell and other female employees refused to wear the smock. Instead, they reported to work in business attire and were suspended. After numerous suspensions, the female employees were fired for violating Burlington's dress code. All other conditions of employment, including salary. hours, and benefits, were the same for female and male employees. Was the dress code policy discriminatory? Why or why not? |O'Donnell Inc., 656 FSupp. 263 (S.D. Ohio 1987)] (See page 535.) v. Burlington Coat Factory Warehouse,Explanation / Answer
As per the employment laws, the employer has full legal rights to require all the manpower both male and female along with disabilities to put on a certain uniform or attire or to adhere a particular dress code. For example, there are some employers who have different dress codes for male and females, different dress codes for managers and layman and so on. This is particularly quite evident in the service industry. In fact, the employee how has some disability which prevents him or her to adhere these dress codes can be relaxed and proper accommodation can be made. The dress codes required to put on should not be illegal or against the law of the land or social values.
As in this case, the employer asked the females to put on certain dress codes and rest of all other factors of employment were same, thus it is not a case of employment discrimination. It is just an adherence to dress code which is s full right of the employer.
