Re: Bathroom limits and cut in pay

If the work day ends no later than 4:00, the policy will be OK, subject to any reasonable accomodation needed for any employee wirh a disability. If the work day ends later than one-half hour after the bathroom use restriction time, the policy may violate State and Fed safety regs.

As to the pay reduction, the employer may modify the wages of an at-will employee. If you don't accept the new terms you can quit.

Re: Bathroom limits and cut in pay

I dont know about the bathroom limits without researching it but the pay cut is legal as long as it is not retroactive and as long as you still get the legal minimum wage.
