What is the name of your state? New York
Both my older and younger sisters are waitresses at a small restaurant. The business is going to be changing hands soon. The future new owners have had meetings with the current employees about various things, one of them being the new dress code they intend to impose. One of the guidelines was something to do with no pantylines showing through their pants. The female part of the brother/sister team that is taking over the restaurant then proceeded to inform the employees that to avoid having a pantyline she doesn't wear undergarments to work. I do know that by saying what she said she made quite a few of the employees very uncomfortable and they're not sure they want to work for this type of person. My question is do they have the right to tell the employees that they can't have a pantyline showing?? I guess since they will be the owners and the dresscode is up to them they might, but I'd rather ask someone who knows better than I, and be sure. It seems absurd to me, but if it is within their rights then so be it. Thanks in advance.
