'How is it unhygienic for you but not for any man who has leg hair?’
Women have to deal with a lot in the workplace, from the gender pay gap to uniform discrimination, but one 21-year-old’s story has sent the internet into a rage.
She was met by her boss who asked to talk to her. After taking her into another room, he told her she would need to remove the hair from her legs for work – labelling it a so-called ‘hygiene’ issue. She wrote in the post: ‘He was so red and stuttering but finally he told me we needed to speak about hygiene.‘I was in literal shock. I was so embarrassed and asked him what he meant.
Men and women can have difference dress codes as long as it does not put an unfair burden on one gender.Dress code policies must target all employees. Therefore an employer cannot ask one employee to shave their legs if this is not the rule for all employees.
