MOM’s Organic Market, a grocery chain based in Rockville, Maryland, has instituted a new policy that prohibits employees from wearing medical face masks on the job. The policy, which went into effect on August 10, is related to customer service and aims to deliver the best possible customer experience.
According to an internal document, employees are not permitted to wear masks, face coverings, or face obstructions while clocked in. However, employees with disabilities and health conditions that require them to wear a mask are exempt from the ban, under the Americans with Disabilities Act, if they provide a doctor’s note.
