Thanks Mike for the entertaining 'tongue in cheek' report. Our dress code graduated to the Image and Appearance Policy about 2 years ago. The standard joke that we have had since, is that cleavage is unlimited, but don't expose your toes or your underarms (even in the offices we are not permitted open toed shoes or sleeveless garments.) The male population wasn't left unscarred from the revision process either - the statement NO DENIM required that all of our maintenance employees purchase new work duds. This is the statement that defines, in general, what cannot be worn: The following apparel is not permitted: tank tops, denim (except white in clinical areas only), sleeveless garments (unless covered with jacket/sweater; underarms cannot be exposed), (tight fitting clothing such as spandex), shorts, jumpsuits, jogging (sweat) suits/pants/shirts, t-shirts (sheer or "see through" clothing, clothing that shows the midriff,) or other apparel contrary to this policy, unless part of the department's defined uniform. As you see, capris are not listed, nor is it stated anywhere how long pants should be - as a side note, some of the capris that I have seen are not worthy of wearing to a picnic; but those folks are exposing their underarms!

The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== Hi Katie, I'm glad you asked about the Dress Code policies. I will be interested in seeing the responses. Our Dress Code has changed almost as frequently as style and common sense have changed. When I started many years ago it was a paragraph. Now, at three pages it is longer than our Electronic Use Policy and Confidentiality Policy combined. While Capri pants are not specifically addressed you can be shot dead for wearing Skorts. It does say that pant lengths must reach the top of the shoe. So, I suppose you could either wear very long Capris or very tall shoes. It used to say that men could have no hair below the collar. However, since too many employees complained of crotch itch and had to go home they figured it was just easier to remove it from the policy than to explain that it meant beards and hair cuts. Because of the clause "no visible panty lines" I am told that sales of Leggs Control Top Panty Hose increased 12% at our local department stores. By the way, even our Dress Code had to straighten up and fly right. It can no longer traipse around as a slovenly Dress Code. It must now be referred to as a Professional Image Policy. Isn't that nice?! In jest (or ingest I suppose), Mike Cottle Sumter Regional Hospital 100 Wheatley Drive Americus, GA 31709 (229) 931-1380 IT Dept.

The meditech-l web site is MTUsers.com ====================================== I need to have some quick results of a survey on whether your hospital's dress code policy allows capri pants in either your hospital dress code, or a seperate dress code for offsite depts (such as a billing office)? I apologize for submitting to the list. You can email me directly to cut down the clutter of your responses to the list. Thanks.
