Re: Restroom
In an employment at will jurisdiction such as the Commonwealth, absent a contract or collective bargaining type of agreement which governs this issue, the employer can set conditions
regarding the circumstances under which employees are permitted to leave their respective work stations, including for the use of the bathroom (requiring the employer's permission).
If this is in fact your type of employment situation, you should probably be looking for other work.
