Can I ask for a dress code exception for religious reasons?
Yes, many companies accommodate dress code exceptions for religious or cultural reasons.
Companies are generally supportive of employees' religious and cultural needs, including exceptions to the dress code. If you need to wear specific attire for religious reasons, such as a hijab, turban, or other garments, it's appropriate to request an accommodation. Be open and respectful in your communication with HR or your manager, and most employers will work with you to ensure you can observe your practices while complying with workplace policies.
