Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia

logging bathroom breaks

Is a private company allowed to literally keep track of breaks? For example, writing on a form breaks under miscellaneous and specifying whether it's a bathroom, leg stretch, or eye break. In addition, time spent during such breaks need to be documented and verified. This to me is ridiculous!
