I say, a huge, resounding, yes to both. =20
Regarding contracts: at least some form of written documentation =
detailing the start and end dates of the work term, hours of work, =
scheduling, requests for time off, any conditions of the student funding =
that you have to meet, etc, that the student reads and understands, and =
signs to indicate that they have read and understood. I have to fall =
back on this almost every year - inevitably, I have one student who =
wants all sorts of time off, or to leave early to party with friends =
before the semester starts, and that can really mess with the terms of =
your student funding.
And for dress code: there are a lot of students out there who have no =
clue what is appropriate attire for work. I used to not specify a dress =
code - and had students showing up in everything from torn jeans, =
four-inch heels, crop tops and halter tops, and - I am not making this =
up - a bikini, flip-flops, and cut-off shorts because she was leaving =
right after work for a beach party. I have also learned to specify that =
any outfit that allows me to see what colour their bra/thong/boxers are, =
is unacceptable. We just expect neat, clean, shirts with sleeves and =
collar and long enough to be tucked in, no jeans. I think you can =
require a specific look (e.g. any white shirt, any blue or black =
slacks), but if you want your staff to wear a standard uniform you need =
to provide it.
