And Now For Something Completely Different. And Really Uncomfortable.

Oooh, here's a possibly sticky topic that anyone with employees may face:

How do you tell an employee to stop dressing so provocatively?

Maybe this strikes a chord because Halloween with all its goofy/quirky/doesn't need to be so sexy costumes stormed all the businesses near us. Whatever the chord, more than one OED Advisor has stepped into a small business to find "juicy" across a young woman's sweatpants, or someone looking more like some "naughty librarian" than bookkeeper.

We love this post from Bloomberg.com on Business Week for it's suggestions! The first thing that may stop you is the question of whether YOUR employee handbook covers dress code. You DO have an employee manual, right? Even if you'd like to maintain a casual atmosphere, you are running a business.

Before updating (or writing) yours, check out Karen Klein's feedback to one highly concerned law firm partner.
