[QUOTE="Brownish, post: 671440, member: 27743"] Besides Legal department approved religious beard exemptions, UPS also recognizes a condition called PFB ([I]Polyfolliculitis barbae[/I]) which is a specific medical condition that results in the ingrown hair problem - and it almost always applies to some African Americans only. There's a formal process through corporate HR to get a beard exemption approved for it, including needing a doctor's certification that PFB is the diagnosed medical issue. Doesn't mean the guy can wear a long thick beard, it has to be kept trimmed very short, but at least they recognize it's a bona fide medical issue. I only know one guy with the exemption. I don't know if it applies to all business units, but if it's your specific problem, it shouldn't hurt to ask your HR. [/QUOTE]
