The working force nowadays are aware of their rights as well as their privileges. Gone are the days when the management could come up with draconian rules and regulations and expect the workers to toe the line for the fear of losing their jobs and their means of livelihood as well. This would then mean that each employer is shielded from any abuse of the employer through any means.

Among those that have been an issue in the work office or work place is the dress and the haircut. In conclusion, any company is not allowed to just implement a rule or regulation with regard to handling their employees as this could break the law of labor and can lead to crimes punishable by law.

There are also those companies that point out a specific haircut for their employees or staff during the initial process of hiring and this requirement is also written in their list of requirements which the employee is supposed to sign and confirm to. One example of a workplace that requires shorter hair is the soldiers' battlefield where long hairs can obviously hinder ones vision which can cause or lead to injuries, accidents and even death. In addition, there are also a few rules in the defense forces which require their soldiers to have a lesser amount of facial hair at work.

There are also instances where a haircut or hairstyle requirement many not be significant such as in religious customs. A good example of which is the defense forces of the Indian Sikhs that have long hairs and sometimes wear head gears at work or on the field since it is their religious custom.

The importance of keeping a particular degree of appearance is nowhere more significant than in the aviation sector where the pilots as well as the air hostesses and air stewards are expected to maintain well kept hair with the male employees who are not allowed to keep neither long hair nor beard. There are also a lot of show businesses today that have a uniform style of hair cut among its labor forces to suit the theme of their business. These types of businesses require their employees to have at least a medium sized hair at work to effectively carry out their own respective work. More often than not, a company may also require its employees to cut any hair below the body like on the legs and on the genital area so as to minimize costs on tailoring for the employees' uniform. So even if there are instances of company making employees cut their hair but it is not allowed in every sector since it may infringe upon their rights.
