I imagine UPS could reasonably require you to use one of these 10 minute breaks to use the restroom. Please correct me if I am wrong. Also it seams clear that employees who abuse the right to restroom breaks can get canned: [url]http://www.ohioemployerlawblog.com/2013/09/when-you-gotta-go-you-gotta-go-right-to.html#.U8ySCuNdV8E[/url] Link to Dept of Labor site: [url]http://www.dol.gov/elaws/esa/flsa/hoursworked/screenER5.asp[/url] Also: [url]http://www.dol.gov/elaws/esa/flsa/hoursworked/screenER5.asp[/url] An employer's attorney weighs in: [url]http://www.ohioemployerlawblog.com/2013/09/bathroom-breaks-do-not-equal-breaks-in.html#.U8yPguNdV8E[/url] [/QUOTE]
