Discipline | Employee reported for...eating a sandwich

Particularly for those working in customer-facing roles, employees may be banned from drinking alcohol when wearing their work uniform as this sets an unprofessional tone to outsiders and may impact their ability to do their job properly.

Although staff might be off duty and have finished their shift but are still in uniform, most HR policies will set out guidelines for the dos and don’ts as employees are an ambassador for the brand as long as they are wearing their uniform.
