Restroom Trip Policy

INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM

 

DATE: 01/01/2008

TO: All Personnel

FROM: I. P. Freely

SUBJECT: Restroom Trip Policy (RTP)

 

In the past employees were permitted to make trips to the restroom under informal guidelines. Effective this month, a Restroom Trip Policy (RTP) will be established to provide a consistent method of accounting for each employee's restroom time and ensuring equal treatment of all employees.

Under this policy, a "Restroom Trip Bank" will be established for each employee. The first day of each month, employees will be given a Restroom Trip Credit of 20. Bathroom trip credits can be accumulated from month to month.

In the next two weeks the entrance to the restrooms will be equipped with personal identification stations and computer-linked voice print recognition devices. Up until the effective date of this policy, each employee must provide two copies of voice prints (one normal, one under stress) to me. The voice print recognition stations will be operational, but not restrictive, for the remainder of this month; employees should acquaint themselves with the stations during this period.

If an employee's Restroom Trip Bank reaches zero, the door to the bathroom will not unlock for that employee's voice until the first of the next month.

In addition, the restroom is being equipped with a timed paper roll retractor. If the restroom is occupied for more than three minutes, an alarm will sound. Thirty seconds after the alarm sounds the roll of paper in the restroom will retract, the toilet will flush, and the restroom door will open.

If you have any questions about the new policy, please contact my office.
