DISCIPLINARY STATEMENT
Violations of policies will result in disciplinary actions. Disciplinary actions could include suspension or termination. It
is impossible for McDonald’s to anticipate every form of misconduct that may result in discipline up to and including
termination. Discipline will vary according to the circumstances of a particular situation as determined solely by
McDonald’s.
In situations where serious offenses have occurred or are suspected to have occurred (theft, unlawful acts, gross
misbehavior, intoxication, substance abuse, sexual harassment, insubordination, etc.), it may be necessary to use an
investigation period. During this investigation period, you may be unscheduled. At the conclusion of this
investigation, a disciplinary determination will be made. Depending upon the results of the investigation, prior work
history, and the severity of the offense(s), the disciplinary action will range from a warning to a termination of
employment.
GROOMING POLICY
It is McDonald’s policy to stress the highest standards possible in all phases of operations, including standards
regarding cleanliness and neatness. McDonald’s is a family restaurant and our employees must reflect this image.
Extreme hair color, tattoos, or other fads are not part of this image.
• Piercings around the mouth will not be allowed. Nose piercing with any kind of hoop or ring is not allowed.
The Area Supervisor must approve all other nose piercing. Eyebrow piercing must be small rings or studs
and have the Area Supervisor’s approval. Extreme stud piercing is not allowed. If you decide to get a new
piercing and cannot take out the piercing, you will have to take time off work until you can come to work
without the piercing.
• Extreme tattoos must be covered. This will be enforced at the discretion of the General Manager or Area
Supervisor.
• Fingernails must be short and well manicured. Fingernail length will be determined by the ability to perform
your job functions. This includes being able to touch the touch screen of the register with the flesh part of
your finger. This determination will be made by the General Manager or Area Supervisor.
• Jewelry is permissible when worn in good taste and limited in size and amount. The Area Supervisor will
make this determination. No bracelets or watches are allowed due to food safety issue. No large hoop or
dangle earrings due to food safety issues. There will be a maximum of 3 pierced earrings allowed in each
ear. Chains must be put inside of your uniform shirt.
• Hair length for male and female employees should not overlap the collar of the uniform shirt. If it does, it
needs to be pulled up and secured during working hours. All hairstyles and hair colors (natural colors)
should be of a business nature and reflective of the corporate image. Hats must be worn at all times. Do-
rags are allowed under your crew hat, if they are black in color and the tails are tucked in.
• Moustaches that are well trimmed and do not overlap the upper lip are allowed. Beards are prohibited.
Sideburns and goatees are permissible; however, they should not extend below the earlobe and should be
groomed to avoid becoming overgrown.
• All employees must wear sturdy, black, polishable, non-slip shoes. Within 30 days, you must purchase or
order proper shoes. All canvas, nylon, sandals, or open toed shoes are not to be worn for safety reasons.
Socks must be worn. You may purchase “Shoes for Crew” and the full cost of your shoes will be deducted
from your paycheck.
• Daily baths or showers are a very important part of personal hygiene, as is clean hair, brushed teeth and
the use of deodorant. Moderate use of perfume cologne and cosmetics are essential.
• A complete uniform includes a hat, clean uniform shirt, proper shoes, name badge, socks or hose, and
proper black pants. Pants cannot be yoga pants, sweat/athletic pants, tight-fitting pants, cargo pants or
jeans. You will be responsible for coming to work in a clean and wrinkle free uniform. Pants may be altered
to reach the top of the shoe, however, no alterations to the style of the uniform are allowed. Pants needing
hemming should be brought to the office to be set out for repair at no cost to you. If you leave our
employment, you must return all pieces of your uniform which would include 1 crew hat and 2 crew shirts.
• In the cold weather, long sleeved shirts either red, black or white can be worn under your uniform shirt.
• Reasonable accommodations to our grooming policies can be made to accommodate an employee’s religious
beliefs or medical restrictions. Please speak with your General Manager.
