Bear with me if the thing I'm going to ask about is a normal work practice, because I honestly don't know if it is or not.
Is it normal for an employee to need to clock out to use the restroom? I only ask because we've been told we need to do this, and only when I mentioned it to someone in passing did they say that sounded a little odd. We need to clock out if we want a drink too...basically, anything involving leaving our seats, we need to clock out for.
We also get yelled at if we have our stations in training mode (which is for when we have meetings or the boss talks to people individually about how they're doing their job wrong) and need to pee right after the meeting. Last time we had one of our floor meetings, the boss said, "Make sure you punch out before going to the bathroom!" Because, hey, that's two minutes for which she would be paying that person to pee!
Maybe somewhere along the line, someone was taking hour-long potty breaks and now the boss has to be a pee-time Nazi. It just sucks sometimes when you're throwing back coffee all day long, your bathroom time adds up and might mess with your hours. You hear about it if you are behind on your hours even by a few minutes. Conversely, we are not allowed to punch in until a certain time. This is to ensure nobody gets eight hours of work in a day because then they might be considered full-time and the company is not interested in giving anyone any benefits.
