Tattoo prohibition at the workplace
The rise of body modification have caused some companies to adopt policies that either prohibit or place restrictions on visible tattoos and other body art. The rationale behind such policies is often a desire to have employees maintain a professional and business-like appearance. Employees, however, typically find these policies invasive of their personal lives and an unwanted dictation of style. In some instances, enforcement of work rules regarding tattoos and piercings have resulted in claims of employment discrimination. Employers say that tattooed people repel customers.
Discrimination in hiring based on tattooing ordinarily is not illegal . But because of the reasons for tattoo the discrimination can become illegal. The cases are when body modification has a religion or individual’s appearance context. PRIMERY
