Any customer of the City who violates this policy may be denied access to City business locations. Anyone who engages in violence may be subject to criminal sanctions. 7.4 Domestic Violence At the request of the employee, the City will attempt to make reasonable accommodations for a period of time to shield or protect an employee from abuse while at work through the screening of telephone calls and visitors, or other temporary measures. In accordance with Minnesota law, employees may also use sick leave for"safety" leave related to domestic violence situations. 7.5 Appearance and Dress Policy The appearance and dress of City employees has a direct reflection on the professionalism of our services. A neat, well-groomed employee presents a positive image of the City and demonstrates the pride of City employees. Appearance and attire have an impact on the way community members perceive City staff and the confidence customers have in the City's ability to provide quality services. The standard office attire for employees Monday through Friday will be Business Casual or Formal Business, with some exceptions on Friday's as noted below.
