Origination Date: August 2024 

Purpose
The purpose of a caregiver dress code is to ensure that caregivers look professional, stay clean, and work safely, while being comfortable and able to move easily, all to maintain a respectful and caring atmosphere. Following the dress code improves the Ministry's image and ensures that caregivers are easily identifiable and are following the Ministry's standards.

Scope
The scope of an animal caregiver dress code in the Ministry includes wearing modest and appropriate clothing that reflects the values of the ministry, ensuring cleanliness and hygiene to maintain a safe environment for both the animals and caregivers, and choosing attire that allows for ease of movement and comfort during the care of animals. The dress code also emphasizes wearing safety equipment when necessary to prevent injury and promote the well-being of the animals.

Dress Code Policy for Administrative Staff 

- Bottoms: Long trousers are required. No ripped jeans or shorts are permitted.
- Tops: Dress shirts or neat, well-maintained T-shirts are acceptable.
- Footwear: Closed-toe shoes are mandatory.
- Hair: Hair must be neatly arranged, and facial hair should be trimmed.
- Fragrance: Only mild body cologne or perfume is allowed, as strong fragrances may affect coworkers.

Guidelines

- The team should maintain a professional and appropriate appearance, especially when attending training sessions in the office.

- For work in the Chicken Coop, staff must change into coveralls and wear work boots, ensuring their hair is adequately covered and they have a nose mask on. Their daily appearance should not be compromised by their duties in the coop.

- For the Animal Caregiver dress code, it is important that staff consistently maintain a neat appearance and personal hygiene, even though they will be changing into coveralls during their shift. This ensures a consistent standard of excellence across all roles at 633 Farms.

Upkeep
Cleaning services for your coveralls are provided. If you need additional uniforms or your spoil, please contact HR about purchasing additional uniforms
