How do you determine the employee dress code for Sunday mornings?

The Sunday morning dress code should be an individual store decision. However, Betty feels that her staff should dress like the congregation dresses.

Today's "Sunday dress" has changed in many parts of the country, and more casual attire can be found in churches everywhere.

Nevertheless, the workers in your store should still dress in a way that is respectful of the significance of the Sunday services.

And, no matter what dress code you set, there are a few non-negotiables:

* Clothes should be clean and shoes polished.
*Employees should be bathed, with their hair neatly cut and styled.
* Clothing must not be too tight, short or revealing.
* A form of employee identificationsuch as a name tag or badgeshould be worn at all times.

One rule of thumb, which Betty preaches all the time, is that casual dress stimulates casual work. A little extra pride in the employee's appearance can speak volumes about the value they place on their job.
