02 Decent Care has established a smart casual dress code policy. While Company employees are not required to wear what is traditionally considered formal business attire, appropriate standards of professionalism must be followed.

2.1Employees are expected to maintain a clean and neat appearance at all times, dressing in a manner appropriate for the work being performed and consistent with safety rules and considerations. Workplace attire must not serve as a distraction to other employees or participants and may not cross the line between “smart casual” and “casual”.

2.2 Jeans that are not faded and are free from stains or tears as well as khaki or twill bottoms are acceptable, as are collared shirts, sweaters, and other similar attire.

Examples of items considered too casual and/or inappropriate include:

• Revealing clothing that exposes your back, chest, stomach, navel, underwear (front or back) or that reveals too much cleavage.
• T-shirts of a casual nature, such as those printed or embroidered with sayings or team logos, well as those intended to be worn as undershirts.
• Tops with spaghetti straps, halter tops or muscle shirts.
• Tops that are transparent or see-through, or that give the appearance of such.
• Informal shorts, skorts, or very short skirts.
• Excessively baggy pants or other clothing items.
• Items adorned with language or images that can be considered foul, vulgar or obscene.
• Apparel with holes, rips or tears.
• Beachwear, including swimwear, swimsuit cover-ups, or casual flip flops.
• Sweatbands or bandanas.

Employees/sub-contractors are expected to comply with the Company dress code policy, maintaining an appropriate image for the workplace any time they are at work or otherwise representing Decent Care, such as during professional association meetings with other allied health professionals and work-related travel.
