The company got upset we were going to the bathroom during off break times. We had to start punching out whenever we went to the bathroom. That solved the issue from management's view. We started comparing notes and realized our take home pay increaes a couple bucks when we missed 15 minutes per week. It bumped us to a different tax bracket From then on everyone made a point of taking at least 15 minutes extra every week. And everyone did it, so it disrupted work more than the occasional bathroom break had before they started that practice.
