Bathroom Policy
(No Ratings Yet)
Loading ...To: All Employees
In the past, employees have been permitted to make trips to the restroom under informal guidelines, resulting in loss of employee time and production.
Effective January 5, 1986, a Restroom Trip Policy (RTP) will be established to provide a consistent and precise method of accounting for each employee’s restroom time, as well as ensuring equal time for each employee.
Under this policy, a Restroom Trip Bank (RTB) will be established for each employee. The first day of each month, employees will be given twenty (20) Restroom Trip Tickets (RTT’S). These tickets can be accumulated from month to month for future use.
Currently, the entrances to all restrooms are being equipped with personnel identification stations and computer-linked voice print recognition. During the next three weeks, each employee must provide two copies of voice prints (one normal and one under extreme stress) to the Human Resource Department. The voice print recognition stations will be operational, but not restrictive, for the month of February. Employees should acquaint themselves with the stations during the month.
If an employee’s Restroom Trip Bank (RTB) reaches zero, none of the doors to the restrooms will open for that employee’s voice print, no matter how loud you yell or holler, until the first of the following month. In addition, all restroom stalls are being equipped with timer paper roll retractors. If the stall is occupied for more than one minute, an alarm will sound. Thirty seconds after the alarm sounds, the roll of paper in the wall will retract, the toilet will flush and the stall door will fly open. If the employee is not out of the stall within three minutes, a general building alarm will sound and the Security Guards will appear, with weapons drawn, to escort the employee to a formal Hearing. At this time, any RTT’S the employee may have left will be forfeited to Security.
A suspension of RTT’S will become necessary for a period of three months after the second offense. In the event of a third offense, all restroom privileges will be permanently
suspended, and you’re on your own.
PLEASE REFER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE REGARDING THE NEW POLICY TO YOUR IMMEDIATE SUPERVISOR.
