[QUOTE="35years, post: 2869191, member: 60822"] No language needed. It is covered by OSHA regulations, see below. Basically you can go off area to the nearest public restroom immediately when you feel the urge. According to District court findings up to 15 minutes is a reasonable amount of time to spend in the bathroom. Also, bathroom breaks are compensated time (not off the clock). Of course if you are abusing the rules you are not covered. A poster here on the Brown Cafe was fired because he extended his break by going to the restroom after his break time was up, and before he did another stop. That was a just firing.
