I wear really nice jeans (designer) and a nice sweater. don't like to show off my arms and under the sweater I am wearing a t-shirt that matches my trouser gaucho style pants. My fiance is wearing a shirt and tie.
Maryland law does require that employees 17 and younger must be given a meal or rest period of at least 30 minutes if they have worked for five hours or more.
