[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On one hand, you are the employer, so it seems like your employee should abide by your comfort zone (as long as it is legal). BUT, what if you wanted her to wear a veil in your home, that would be going too far in my opinion.

How about your hire a cleaning person through an agency (which usually protects them and you more anyway, in terms of benefits/being bonded, etc). When you first put in the request, explain that due to your cultural/religious beliefs/customs, you would appreciate it if the person they send does not wear X, Y, Z (don't label it as modest, be specific, since "modest" is subjective). That way you are describing a work requirement, not insulting an individual.[/quote]

Why do people keep saying that OP is the employer?  It sounds like this is a cleaning lady, not a full-time housekeeper.  So OP is not the employer.  [/quote]

Ok. OP is the client.  It’s still a reasonable request.  [/quote]

Would it be reasonable for your employer to ask you to start wearing a headscarf to work, now that they've been bought by a Saudi conglomerate?  After all, it's part of their religion.[/quote]

I’m a therapist and own my own practice.  It would be reasonable for a client to tell me that they would prefer that I wear a headscarf while I am with them.  And it would also be completely reasonable for me to say that I am not comfortable with that and to work it out or refer them elsewhere.
