FROM: OPERATIONS
SUBJECT: Restroom Use Policy
In the past,
employees were permitted to make trips to the
restroom under informal guidelines. Effective
immediately, a Restroom Trip Policy will be
established to provide a more consistent method of
accounting for each employee's restroom time and
ensuring equal treatment of all employees.
Under the policy a
"Restroom Trip Bank" will be established
for each employee. The first day of each month,
employees will be given twenty Restroom Trip Credits.
These credits may be accumulated.
Within four to six
weeks, the entrance doors to all restrooms are being
equipped with personal identification stations and
computer-linked voice print recognition devices.
Before the end of the month each employee must
provide two copies of voice prints (one normal and
one under stress) to the Human Resources Department.
The voice print recognition station will be
operational but not restrictive during the entire
month. Employees should acquaint themselves with the
stations during that period.
If the employee's
Restroom Trip Bank balance reaches zero, the doors to
the restrooms will not unlock for that employee's
voice until the first of the next month. In addition,
all restroom stalls are being equipped with timed
paper roll retractors. If the stall is occupied for
more than three minutes, an alarm will sound. Thirty-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 bulletin board located in the
Employee Relations Office. Anyone's picture showing
up three times will immediately be terminated. If you
have any questions about this policy, please ask your
supervisor. They have all received advanced
instructions.
