The Employee’s appearance reflects not only on the Employee as an individual, but on the quality and image of our Pizzerias. Passariello’s expects Employees to take pride in their personal appearance, and commit to the hygiene and dress standards of Passariello’s. Employees should arrive at the Pizzeria in their full uniform. Employees are not allowed to arrive at the Pizzeria dressed in half of their uniform. If an Employee intends to change into their uniform at the Pizzeria, they must arrive at least 10-15 minutes before their scheduled start time.

YOU MUST BE IN FULL UNIFORM TO CLOCK IN.

If an Employee comes into the Pizzeria on a day-off to retrieve an item from behind the counter or to complete work, they must be dressed in uniform, as they would during a workday.

Hygiene is a critical and protective measure against food borne illness and is expected of all Employees. Frequent hand washing is important in order to maintain a safe and healthy environment. Hand washing must immediately follow any act that offers a possibility that the hands have picked up contaminants such as after using the restroom, after using a tissue, after smoking, and after breaks. Employees that wear aprons must take off their apron prior to using the restroom. Aprons must be placed behind the counter, and out of Guest view.

Any Employee who comes in contact with food shall keep his or her fingernails trimmed no longer than 1/4” in length, filed and maintained so that the edges and surfaces are clean and smooth. No nail biting during your shift. Food handlers may only wear clear nail polish and are not allowed to wear artificial nails. All Employees’ nail polish must be free of chips.

GUIDELINES

HAIR

Hair must be clean and neatly combed. Hair must appear to be a color that naturally occurs. Cosmetic hair color (e.g. yellow, green, purple, or any other colors) is not allowed. Long hair must be secured in a braid or bun, and Employees working in the kitchen must wear a hat.

FACIAL HAIR

Employees are expected to arrive clean-shaven. Facial hair must be neat, well-trimmed (no stubble). Moustaches and beards must be fully grown-in. Sideburns must be neatly trimmed and not extend below the bottom of the ear lobe or flare out.

TATTOOS/PIERCINGS

No tattoos or piercings should be visible to guests including but not limited to facial piercings, eyebrow ring, lip rings and tongue posts. Pierced ears are acceptable and earrings must be no longer than 1 inch, and ear plugs must be capped and be no larger than 1/2.” Passariello’s preference is that males do not wear earrings during employment hours which are not approved by managers. Tattoos must be covered with a long sleeve shirt or compression sleeve.

JEWELRY

Employees are allowed to wear a wristwatch, one ring (per hand) and one necklace (tucked inside shirt). Standard sanitation guidelines require that Employees working in the kitchen do not wear any jewelry other than an engagement band and/or wedding band, and a wristwatch.
