Detroit-based Henry Ford Health System enforces a Professional Appearance Standards Policy that requires most employees to report for work in “clean,” “neat,” and “pressed” uniforms. For most hourly health-care workers, this means working two to three extra hours per week, at home, washing and ironing scrubs – without wage and overtime compensation.
These sorts of “uniform maintenance” policies have come under scrutiny lately and are the subject of a number of Fair Labor Standards Act lawsuits pending around the United States.
