• Transparent or tight garments. <br />• Clothing with advertisements or logos larger than 2" (other than City logos). <br />• Any clothing that is overly revealing or outlandish so as to cause distraction. <br />• Any clothing or visible tattoos with images or wording that are offensive or derogatory. <br />• Visible body piercings, other than earrings, must be removed during work hours. <br />Employees Who Work Outdoors <br />Employees who frequently work outdoors should take into consideration the nature of their work <br />for the day when determining appropriate dress. Clothing must always be neat, clean, and not <br />overly worn, faded, or in disrepair. Work shirts may not be sleeveless and employees may not go <br />shirtless while on duty. Solid color shorts and jeans are acceptable when appropriate and with <br />prior approval from the Department Head. <br />Uniformed Personnel <br />Uniforms, which are provided to some city employees, are expected to be neat, fresh and clean when <br />reporting for duty. Each department is responsible for seeing to it that employees follow regulations <br />regarding uniforms, related accessories and equipment. Uniforms bearing city identification may <br />not be worn during off -duty hours. <br />Under certain circumstances, as a condition of employment, employees may be required to wear <br />clothing identifying them as a city of Ramsey employee. If applicable, a payroll stipend may be <br />benefited and applicable taxes will be withheld according to the Internal Revenue Service. <br />Religious Considerations <br />Nothing in the policy is intended to infringe upon an individual's desire to observe and exercise <br />religious practices. The City will make reasonable effort to accommodate religious practices <br />regarding dress to the extent that is able to do so without affecting employee or customer health <br />and safety. <br />Department Heads have the responsibility and the authority to enforce this policy. If counseling <br />does not work, violations of this policy may result disciplinary action, up to and including <br />immediate termination, or sending the employee home to change clothes. Time away from work <br />due to an employee's violation of this dress code shall not be paid as regular duty pay; the <br />employee may use vacation time or unpaid leave. <br />7.6 Off -duty Conduct <br />The City's effectiveness depends upon the respect and confidence of residents, business owners <br />and employees. Inappropriate off -duty conduct detracts from community or employee respect and <br />confidence. It is the City's policy to investigate circumstances suggesting that a City employee has <br />engaged in inappropriate off -duty conduct that reflects unfavorably on the City. If inappropriate <br />off -duty conduct is determined to have occurred that affects the City's business or reputation, <br />discipline may be imposed, up to and including immediate termination. <br />441Page <br />
