Take Care With Costumes

+Inc.?tid=informline>World Wrestling Entertainment get-up when you get ready
for work on Friday.

Employment lawyer Elizabeth Lalik with Littler Mendelson recommends
that employers send written guidelines and expectations about costumes
and reference the organization's anti-harassment policies. Political figures
are okay, but costumes that mock or play on racial or ethnic stereotypes
are not. Steer clear of anything that could offend a "reasonable co-worker,"
Lalik says.

"Someone in the organization must be tasked to keep an eye out for what
people wear and how they're behaving," she said. If folks show up in scanty
or otherwise inappropriate costumes, have them change or send them home.

Her advice to bosses: Don't have the party.
