It's an interesting issue. Certainly employers have always had the right to require that employees dress a certain way, perhaps to convey a formal look, or a neutral uncontroversial look.

So, there is no carve out for Rastafarians? I think this should be appealed on the grounds of religious discrimination.

Wow how racist. As long as one come to work looking and smelling clean it should not matter how they style their hair.
Sure dreadlocks can look unkept but they can also be very well kept. Any hair style can look unkept though. This is just sad and will draw more racial tension.

Someone can simply say it's for religious purposes and that would make them not able to ban it, however I think that only applies if you already work there and start growing it out.
However be prepared for them to start nitpicking and looking for a way to fire you.
2 minutes late, all the reason we need.
