Employees Who Work Outdoors Employees who work outside must follow the dress code established by their Department Head. Clothing must always be neat, clean, and not overly worn, faded, or in disrepair. Work shirts may not be sleeveless, and employees may not go shirtless while on duty. Solid -color shorts and jeans are acceptable when appropriate and with prior approval from the Department Head. Uniformed Personnel Uniforms provided to some City employees are expected to be neat, fresh, and clean when reporting for duty. Each department is responsible for ensuring that employees follow regulations regarding uniforms, related accessories, and equipment. Uniforms bearing City identification may not be worn during off -duty hours. Under certain circumstances, employees may be required, as a condition of employment, to wear clothing identifying them as a City of Ramsey employee. If applicable, a payroll stipend may be provided, and applicable taxes will be withheld according to the IRS regulations. Religious Considerations Nothing in the policy is intended to infringe upon an individual's desire to observe and exercise religious practices. The City will make reasonable effort to accommodate religious practices regarding dress to the extent that it can do so without affecting employee or customer health and safety. Enforcement The Administrative Services Director, Department Heads or the identified designee are responsible for enforcing this policy. If counseling is ineffective, violations of this policy may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Employees sent home to change clothes shall not be paid as regular duty during that time; they may use vacation time or unpaid leave. Exceptions 511Page
