[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 2427074, member: 198"] The OP (assuming he gets his job back), and the others here that have been stating inaccurate information concerning restroom breaks should really take a look at the following links. [URL='http://www.calltherightattorney.com/2014/02/11/wage-attorney-answers-can-my-job-clock-me-out-when-i-go-potty/']Wage Lawyer Answer: Can My Job Clock Me Out When I Go Potty?[/URL] [URL='https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/29/785.18']29 CFR 785.18 - Rest.[/URL] [URL='http://webapps.dol.gov/elaws/whd/flsa/hoursworked/screenER5.asp']elaws - employment laws assistance for workers and small businesses[/URL] [URL='http://makeupsdeliver.org/when-you-gotta-go/']When You Gotta Go |[/URL] There are plenty of other links out there on the web so feel free to research for yourselves. The OP [USER=64842]@OrlandoCitySC[/USER] clearly needs to learn how to play these games with management and when not to. Knowing the laws and our contract is the key. I suggest that you avoid using the restroom (paid) as an extension (before or after the unpaid break begins) of your breaks whenever possible. But you [I][U][B]DO NOT[/B][/U][/I] have to clock out whenever you randomly stop to go to the restroom. And you are covered (by law) up to 20 minutes for those stops but I highly suggest you send a message via the DIAD letting the center know that you'll be idle for a restroom break. That is to CYA. Always let them know if you will be idle and for what reason. Yes, you can pee in empty bottles instead of breaking off each and every time you need to go but you do not have to (see link "When You Gotta Go" above). I'm guilty of that myself. I will only break off to drop a deuce though. In the winter months if I broke off every time I had to pee I'd spend a third of the day driving back and forth to the restroom. LOL!

It's better to run over your break unpaid then risk getting canned for stealing time. That should be obvious to you by now. As far as how to handle the harassment.....thats a whole other thread.
