Is that legal? I'm pretty sure its not against the law to have a beard....
3) another employee came in three days in a row without shaving. asked him why and he said he has a skin condition.... he was told the next time he came in not shaved he would be sent home for the day and he has always been shaved since then - i know i am mean.

Flander - i am sure it is not against the law to have a beard. but were you have a 20 year old who works in a professional serviecs firm dealing with the public every day and appearance is a lot - having a clean shave is a major point.

Garda can keep beard
A GARDA in Cavan has won his two year battle to keep his beard.The Anglo-Celt reported the lengthy campaign led by Garda John Wilson which came to an end last Tuesday when the determined Garda was told that regulations had been changed and that he could return to normal duties within the coming weeks.Wilson had previously been confined to indoor work ever since he refused to shave off his beard for medical reasons.

thanks for all the replies but i think a lot of them are a brilliant expamle of people been too polically correct and . call me a backwards ejit or someone that belongs in the dark ages but if an employee of mine will not dress appropriatley or present themselves in a professional way then they will be employees no more.
yes. we would have no problem with facial hair. we have a problem with employees not shaving because they are too lazy!!
I suppose its a question of what your rules are in the office.
Some people here might think the mods on this site are over zealous in their moderation of the site. At the end of the day its their site and they can be as strict as they choose. Same could be said for employers of small companies.
That said, there is a sexist issue here. How long can a woman have their hair, can they wear casual clothes (difficult to define) can they wear makeup or earrings etc . .
Growing a beard is not necessarily somebody who is lazy, that in itself is a lazy assumption to make. Some people look good with beards or goatees and just like to have them. It should be none of the employers business if they grow a beard or not (while in employment) once its being kept clean and presentable.
It is also descrimination to let some people grow beards and others not (if you base it on a presumption that some are lazy!).
Define facial hair!
the only people that are talking about beards are you!! this thread wasnt started to talk about beards. if you want to talk about beards then i suggest that you start another thread. we are going way of the mark here.
Its a major undertaking to shave everyday
You don't see this because women go to the beauty parlour to have it dealt with. I doubt very much if a women would be hired in a job that deals with the public if they were not presentable.What would be the typical stance on a woman having alot of facial hair,would viztopia feel the need to ask her to amend her appearance?
Rubbish...and the over-applying of make-up is worse. Who knows what kind of place the customer thinks they've walked intoYou don't see this because women go to the beauty parlour to have it dealt with. I doubt very much if a women would be hired in a job that deals with the public if they were not presentable.

How dare you that is hormonal!!! Wouldn't mind being sent home though, this office is freezing, may catch the last 15 minutes of Judge Judy
