In the past, staff has been permitted to make trips to the restroom under informal guidelines. Effective immediately, 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 the 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. Restroom trip credits can be accumulated from month to month.

Currently, the entrances to all restrooms are being equipped with personnel identification stations and computer-linked voice print recognition. During the next three weeks, each employee must provide two copies of voice prints (one normal, one under stress) to the Board Chair. The voice print recognition stations will be operational, but not restrictive, for the month of April; employees should acquaint themselves with the stations during that period.

If an employee's Restroom Trip Bank Balance reaches zero, the doors to all restrooms will not unlock for the employee's voice until the first of the next month.

In addition all restroom stalls are being equipped with time 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 in the stall will retract, the toilet will flush and the stall door will open. If you have any questions about the new policy, please ask one of the administrators.
