Can my workplace make me shave my face or is it considered discrimination because of my looks or religon?

Heres the thing, i'm at my job for another 2 months before i leave for college, and its not against my religion (I'm catholic). But i think its bull that they are trying to make me shave. I dont care one bit if i get fired, but i want to show them that its my personal choice to have a beard. Especially if its kept clean and trimed nice.

Answers:

1Contrary to what many think, this is NOT a very difficult issue. Yes, unless you are a member of a protected status, the workplace has the legal right to set policy of dress and conduct.

So, if they tell you to shave and based on the facts as presented by you, you either need to shave or be fired. And your termination will be perfectly legal.
