Toilet Breaks
     
     
To: All Employees

In the past, employees have been permitted to make trips to the toilet under informal guidelines. Effective January 1, a Toilet Trip Policy will be established to provide a more consistent method of accounting for each employee's toilet time and ensuring equal treatment of employees.

Under the policy, a "Toilet Trip Bank" will be established for each employee. The first day of each month, employees will be given a Toilet Trip credit of twenty (20) trips. Toilet Trip credits can be accumulated from month to month.

Within two weeks, the entrances to all toilets will be equipped with personnel identification stations and computer linked voice print recognition devices. Before the end of December, each employee must provide two copies of voice prints (one normal and one under stress) to the Material Department. The voice print recognition stations will be operational but not restrictive for the month of January. Employees should acquaint themselves with the station during that period.

If the employee's Toilet Bank balance reaches zero, the doors to the toilet will not unlock for that employee's voice until the first of the next month. In addition, all toilet stalls are being equipped with timed paper roll retractors. If the stall is occupied for more than three (3) minutes, an alarm will sound. Thirty (30) seconds after the alarm sounds the roll of paper will retract into the wall, the toilet will flush, and the stall door will open. If the stall remains occupied, your picture will be taken. The picture will then be posted on the Distribution Centre Bulletin Boards. Anyone's picture showing up three (3) times will be immediately terminated. If you have any questions about this policy, please ask your immediate supervisor. They have all received advance instruction.
