Home Affairs Department wants to ban public servants from wearing sleeveless tops even when on video calls
The Home Affairs Department wants its 14,000 employees to roll up their sleeves — but not too far.
Key points:
- A government department wants to stop staff wearing jeans and sleeveless tops to work
- Its dress code also covers employees in home offices when they are on video calls
- Fair Work Commission has told the department to consult with staff first
A proposed policy that would ban the public servants from wearing sleeveless clothing — including when they are working from home on a video-conference call — has been knocked back by the Fair Work Commission.
The commission ruled in favour of the Community and Public Sector Union (CPSU), which argued the department could not bring the rules in before consulting staff.
