Dress Code and Uniform Use Policy

Date Updated:  August 19, 2024

This policy applies to all US employees of Flightstar and North State.  Contractors and other non-employee workers will be advised of the uniform and dress code expectations at the beginning of their contract/work arrangement. 

It is important for all employees to portray a consistent and professional image when interacting with customers, visitors and colleagues.  To help ensure we accomplish this, we have set forth expectations as a part of the Dress Code and Uniform Use Policy described below. 

We acknowledge the broad diversity of cultures, religions and disabilities that exist across the organization, and take a thoughtful, respectful approach when considering dress code and uniform requirements. Employees who are unable to meet the expectations outlined in this policy, should discuss their concerns with Human Capital.
