What is a code?

When is a code not a code? When it is the dress code of a place in West Virginia. It seems that this one worker at this company protested the code by coming to work dressed in a dress. It was a maternity dress, and he says it is not as comfortable as it would seem to appear. He started working at his computer, then his company sent him home because he did not conform to their dress code. Now dress codes may be nice. If I were head of a firm that had contact with the public, I would have them all dress in purple shirts, pants and skirts to make us look unique. And maybe some decorum is needed. But the supervisor of this worker said, ""The dress code is not a code. It is a statement that we expect our employees to be properly attired at work," Now that goes beyond the pale of simple logic. Since when is a code not a code? I guess when it's a dress code in West Virginia. You can require a workplace to adhere to a dress code, but you can't require them to follow a code that is not a code. That is simply contradictory.
