What do you do when your receptionist pierces her nose? When your sales associate has a sleeve tattoo that can't be covered up by clothing? When your male customer service representative announces that he is transitioning and wants to use the women's restroom? Or when an applicant for a wait staff position shows up for the interview wearing a hijab? Welcome to the brave new workplace, where an employer's right to regulate an employee's appearance and behavior with dress and appearance codes, restroom access rules, and other standards of conduct may conflict with a variety of employment law statutes. A panel of employment law experts will explore this rapidly evolving area of the law with insights into recent court cases, what federal and state agencies are doing in this area, and practical advice to help in-house counsel manage their workplaces within the law.
