re: #230 reine.de.tout

Or, would they refuse to hire them in the first place (which seems to be what happened here - no hire unless she complies with the dress code).

Is this a similar case to the Home Depot incident with the guy wanting to wear a pin in violation of the employer’s dress code?

If an employer has a dress code that an employee (or potential employee) does not want to or cannot comply with, then I think the person should seek employment elsewhere. Or, comply with the dress code.

Answering my own question, now that I’ve thought about it. It is different, in that in the Home Depot incident, there was no religious requirement that the guy wear the pin; whereas in this case, the headscarf is a requirement of her religious beliefs.

I wonder why they have a “no headgear” requirement at this place?
