[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1153393, member: 43436"] OSHA requires that employees have access to the bathroom when they need to go. Up until the early 2000s, OSHA use to discourage employers from forcing employees to clock out for bathroom breaks, but this changed under the conservative Bush Administration & OSHA now says it's up to the employer to decide whether or not you should clock out (unless otherwise decided by local law). Where I'm at management use to request that PTers who were identified for taking excessive bathroom breaks clock out, unless they had a doctor's note on file stipulating that they required extra bathroom breaks. One person took it to hearing saying that it wasn't his fault his body had a bowl movement at the same time every day, typically for 15-minutes. I never heard the outcome, but our new manager backed off this policy anyway. We have several guys in the back who use the toilet 3, 4, 5 or even 6 times every day ... Pretty common to see people request to use the bathroom, have break called, then wait until after break to use the bathroom. [/QUOTE]
