    • This exception is only allowed during outdoor assignments and must not interfere with your uniform or visibility (e.g., no large brims, flaps, or oversized hats). When in doubt, ask your Lead Event Supervisor.
• ✅ Religious or culturally significant head coverings, as protected under California law and federal anti-discrimination laws
  • If you wear religious or cultural headwear and would like to notify the staffing team in advance for documentation purposes, you may do so, but no one is required to explain or justify the protected expression of culture or faith.
• ✅ Medical Accommodations for Headwear
  If an employee needs to wear headwear for medical reasons—such as alopecia, chemotherapy, or other medically documented conditions—they should notify HR or their Lead Event Supervisor in advance so appropriate accommodations can be made discreetly and respectfully.

Overall Appearance Reminder:

Personal Presentation
Guards must report to duty clean, well-groomed, and in full uniform. Hair, facial hair, and nails should be neat. Strong hygiene and professionalism are part of your responsibility as a visible security presence. You will be regularly interacting with our clients, the public, and potential clients.

While on the work site, whether clocked in or clocked out, always remember, that the client is always watching you!
