PURPOSE

The appearance of DHL-AMAT personnel should convey our professional image at all times. DHL’s goal is
to maintain a professional image and reflect the pride that we have in our company. This Dress Code Policy
formalizes and provides specific guidelines that are not covered in the Associate Handbook. Associates are
expected to present a clean, neat appearance and dress according to the requirements of their positions,
warehouse, office, management etc. Associates that appear for work inappropriately dressed will be sent home
unpaid and directed to return to work in the proper attire. In addition, the Corporate Attendance Policy (520.1)
still applies and points will be assessed accordingly.
