DRESS CODE
Page 4 of 6
Madison Men employees are expected to wear appropriate business attire. Employees are expected to
dress neatly and to exercise common sense in selecting clothing and footwear appropriate for a business
environment. Hair should be neatly groomed and worn in a businesslike style. Women should wear suits,
dresses, skirts with blouses or sweaters, or tailored slacks with professional blouses. Men should wear
suits, sports coats or collared dress shirts with a tie and dress slacks. Management in Madison Men’s
offices may declare certain days to be Casual Dress Days, which provide employees an opportunity to
dress more casually at the office. At headquarters, Casual Dress Day is the last Friday of every month.
Employees should wear appropriate casual clothing that is neat, clean and not overly revealing.
Participation in Casual Dress Day is a personal decision. Employees are expected to use good judgment
to ensure that their attire is appropriate for all activities (including meetings and client contact) that they
will be involved in that day. General guidelines regarding attire still apply on Casual Dress Days, and
field locations may adopt modified guidelines as appropriate to their environment. Shorts (except knee-
length shorts), tank tops, mesh shirts, cutoff shirts, thongs, sweat pants, jogging suits, caps, ripped jeans
and T-shirts with controversial slogans are not appropriate. Jeans and athletic footwear are acceptable so
long as they are in presentable condition. . . . As on regular workdays, managers have the final say on
what is appropriate attire for Casual Dress Days.
VACATIONS, HOLIDAYS, AND SICK PAY
(a) The Employee shall be entitled to vacations in the amount of 1 week per year after the first year of
employment, 2 weeks per year after the completion of 5 years, and 3 weeks per year after the completion
of 10 years.
(b) Sick pay is available immediately at one week per year.
(c) The following holidays will be observed as paid time, one day for each: New Year’s Day, Memorial
Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.
PERFORMANCE REVIEWS
The Employee will be provided with a written performance appraisal at least once per year and said
appraisal will be reviewed at which time all aspects of the assessment can be fully discussed.
REMEDIES
This agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin.

alleged agent, director, affiliate, subsidiary or sister company relationship, or relating to an application or
