LONDON: A London receptionist was sent home from work after refusing to wear high heels, BBC has reported.
Temp worker Nicola Thorp, 27, from Hackney, arrived at finance company PwC to be told she had to wear shoes with a “2in to 4in heel”.
When she refused and complained male colleagues were not asked to do the same, she was sent home without pay.
Outsourcing firm Portico said Ms Thorp had “signed the appearance guidelines” but it would now review them.
