    Hi all
    We were asking by our manager and supervisor to inform them before we go to toilet and report when we comeback.
    They have that right?

    Well if you can't find them just run on. If they're there when you come back tell them that you couldn't find them. If they aren't there then you have no need to tell them anyway.

    Think it depends on what your contract says. If you have fixed or flexible hours.

    Provision of information about working hours

    For many employees the hours of work are specified, for example, in their contract of employment or in an ERO or REA. If the hours of work are not specified, under Section 17 of the Act, the employer must notify the employee of the starting and finishing times at least 24 hours before the first day or the day of each week the employee is required to work. The employer can do this by putting up a notice in a conspicuous place in the employee's workplace on a day when the employee is working. If the employee is required to work additional hours the 24 hours' notice must be given in the same way. However, in unforeseen circumstances such as another employee off work sick, the employer can ask the employee to work at less than 24 hours' notice.

    You really shouldn't be seeking legal advice here - not only becuase of the charter but also becuase it will do you very little good to go in a quote statutes etc to you supervisor.

    Seriously consider joining a union in my opinion. The other option is to do it yourself and have a polite and organised metting and try and sort out your differences.

    On the toilet issue - you have statutory breaks this is when you go loo loos! Used to hack me off no end when I'm reliant on another employee to find he was taking a 20 minute dump reading the Metro.

    What if a person has scour? They gotta go or pollute the workspace?

    or if they've to gawk?
    Pregnant women may need to gawk at a seconds notice. They're not ill, they've not overindulged.

    You mean diarrhoea? I think in such circumstance, it would be important to be known to management if working in a food factory.

    In general under health and safety laws they must provide toilet, washing and welfare facilities. There are a few exceptions, if you work in forestry for example, but in any work buildings there should be toilets. Here's the act

    Surely if you work in a forest, you can just nip behind a tree / bush ...

    back on topic, management need to ensure that they have adequate cover during the day, and cant have half the workforce gone to the loo or out for a ciggie.
