H-E-B Dress Code: Guidelines for Employees

H-E-B employees wear branded shirts or polos, black or khaki pants, and closed-toe, slip-resistant shoes. Food department workers may wear smocks or lab coats with additional sanitary gear. Uniforms must be clean, neat, and worn with a visible name badge.

No, H-E-B employees are generally not allowed to wear shorts as part of the standard dress code. This policy is in place for safety, hygiene, and professionalism, especially for roles involving customer interaction, food handling, or equipment operation. Some warehouse or delivery roles in high-heat environments may allow shorts, but only if approved by management and paired with appropriate footwear and safety gear.
