[QUOTE="KidUPS, post: 560603, member: 18294"] If you run a business of 15+ employees. Pay them good salary with tremendous benefits and give them their honest, fair days break paid for by you. And you have 3 of those employees taking restroom breaks everyday or every other day at 20 minutes a pop. At the minimum, 1 hour a day, 2 or 3 hours a week. At the maximum, 1 hour a day, 5 hours a week. So, using a average of full time and part time employee salaries of 15 dollars an hour, that is about 75 dollars a week of paid personal time. Chalk up the amount of time other employees take to use the restroom. Now add up the amount of time it takes away from handling volume in your operation requiring you to keep employee later......Its pretty clear to see that we are talking somewhat near $10,000 a year, if not way more. Now add up the other operations that have maybe 1 or maybe 5 employees taking [B]advantage [/B]of their restroom break (or using vending machines, cell phones, etc)....it clearly adds up...clearly. A reasonable amount of time is a reasonable amount of time. Hell, if you take longer, [B]sometimes[/B] it happens, of course. But how can everyone here find it so absurd that the company is asking it's employees to let their supervisors know that they are taking a restroom break. What it does it make both supervisors and employees aware that: a) The supervisor knows where his employee is in case of an emergency. b) The employee knows he can't be walking around the hub eating a Kit Kat bar and returning saying, "Oh, I was just away for 3 minutes. Didn't you see me walk out of the operation?". Its business, its principle. The majority of time, it is the employees who are urging their supervisors about other employees taking extended restroom breaks on a daily basis.. [/QUOTE]
