Nebraska Questions & Answers
Q: can my employer require me to remove me earrings and cover the visable holes left behind?
Marshall Jason Ray's answer
Employers have wide discretion when it comes to dress an grooming standards for their employees. The restriction you describe regarding piercings is commonplace and likely to be upheld if subject to a legal challenge. Challenges to employer dress codes are only typically successful if an employee can cite a valid religious objection or if the dress standard is degrading or is indicative or in furtherance of illegal discrimination of some kind.
