My boss threatened to fire me, due to me not shaving.( 1 day )is this legal? |
to say, or to even go through with?Just seems like a shaded area on my face. Read your company dress code very carefully, and review your handbook about work appearance and dress code standards. If they say that you need to be clean shaven, or that you can not grow a beard then you accepted the job under those circumstances and agreed to abide by it. Right to work state or not. Violation of a company policy is a reason to fire someone. Yes. Bearded people are not a protected class. MBA In arizona, yes, because its a right to work state they don't have to give you a reason to be fired. Otherwise i would say no, it would be a form of discrimination, but if you signed a contract and it states a dress code (that may involve facial hair) then maybe. It all depends on what state your in and the laws they have! Sorry! Sounds like your boss is a jerk. Good luck! If this is a private company than the owner has free will to fire and hire at any point in time for any given reason. If the company is a publicly traded company or is working for/with a government related project then no this is illegal and as long as you follow proper procedure you can file a legal action against the company for harassment Yes it is...stubbly beards is not a protected class and your employer can have whatever dress code he chooses...and you can also choose not to work there if you don't like the policy. It really depends what the job required in the first place they might of told you to be clean, and shave. Most of the time you get written up for it then you next time sent home then fired. But it all depends on the job and were you work. |
