I was speaking yesterday to the beleaguered employee of a firm who I will not name, but who are large, well known in the PI defendant field (if not necessarily for reasons they would like), and who require their employees to physically clock out before going to the toilet, and to clock in on their return. Through these means, staff are not paid for their toilet breaks. Moreover, the deductions in wages accrue in 15 minute blocks, though employees who have suggested that they will consequently ensure that they take the full 15 minutes are told that this would be a disciplinary offence.

When going to the loo could end with a disciplinary, any rational observer must conclude that this particular firm are actively setting out to undermine their employees' mental health.
