If you read the article, it states that Harrah's changed their policy AFTER the woman was already working there. They also implemented a policy for males that they cannot have long hair or ponytails.
There is a difference between not being hired in the first place for not comfirming to the appearance code and being terminated for not complying when the appearance code was changed after the person was already working there.
Part of the problem is - how much right does a company have to alter their employees' lifestyles? What if a "business casual" dress code is suddenly changed to formal? What if a company changes its hours of operation so that employees are required to be at work earlier (or later)? How about if they move to a new location, requiring longer commutes? Or to a new city, requiring relocation? Where do you draw the line? |

most employment contracts have a little "disclaimer" that says they can fire you for any reason they want; at any time they want.
Don't sign that contract if you don't like it...and for that matter don't ever go to work b/c a business has to have the rights to change policies in order to remain profitable-efficient etc.
you get the point.
