Dress Code for all FLITE-based Student Employees

Since our jobs involve working with patrons and other customers, we expect employees to observe certain standards of dress. We want you to be aware of the image you are presenting to the public and your peers. We also expect employees to adhere to good standards of personal hygiene.

Clothing is in no way to restrict or limit your ability to work. Clothing should never be a hazard. All clothing is to be neat and clean. Underwear is not to be exposed.

The following are also not considered appropriate dress:

  1. halter tops
  2. bare midriffs
  3. bare shoulders
  4. muscle shirts
  5. sweatpants
  6. warm-up suits
  7. spandex exercise clothing
  8. hats, visors and head scarves, unless they are part of your work uniform or are being worn for medical or religious reasons

In addition, articles of clothing are not to display offensive words, pictures or gestures, nor should they have rips or holes in them. Shorts/skorts may be worn with the following guidelines: they are not to be excessively short, be athletic wear, bike shorts, spandex, cut-offs or boxers. Footwear is to be worn at all times.

Wearing of FSU/FLITE apparel is encouraged.

If there is any doubt as to the appropriateness of attire, see your supervisor. Those not dressed appropriately will be sent home to change.

Your cooperation is appreciated.
