In my opinion, Mr. Polk is well within his rights to wear his dreadlocks. In today society, people adhere to different beliefs or practices which may have an effect on the way one dresses. If the employee Mr. Polk, changes his religious beliefs, I think it is his responsibility to address the issue beforehand. Under Title VII, 42. U.S. The courts states that grooming policies is part of an employees “terms of employment” ( ). Mr. Polk should have known when he converted over to his Rastafarian beliefs, this would have an effect on his job. Nonetheless, that is his choice and the employer must adhere to it. When an employee wears dreadlocks because of his/her religious beliefs it is against the law when it comes to any terms of employment
