After years of explosive growth during the pandemic, Home Depot's revenue during the first quarter fell short of expectations and the company cut its profit and sales outlook for the year, sending shares lower at the opening bell.

The Home Depot posted strong profits in its final quarter of 2022, but a tepid outlook for this year is sinking shares of the home improvement retailer.

The first changes were reflected in employees' Feb. 17 paycheck, the company announced Tuesday. Ohers will see the changes on their Feb. 24 paychecks.

More than 260 workers will be able to begin voting on Wednesday. Results are expected late Saturday.

The Home Depot's uniform policy bans political or religious messages "unrelated to workplace matters" from employees' aprons, or elsewhere on their clothing.
