@hr_explained: Replying to @Melissa All of my videos on this subject were based on a comment that stated someone would clock in, immediately take a 30-min bathroom break, then take other 30-min bathroom breaks during their shift. It’s to be expected a manager speaks to the employee about what is going on. This can easily be considered time theft. Employees can be fired for taking unauthorized breaks. For employees who need longer breaks or additional breaks, they can seek a disability accommodation under ADA, PWFA, or other disability laws that may apply. FMLA may also be an option they want to explore. Not talking to an employee who is taking excessive breaks may mean the employee misses out on understanding their options and that harms the employee. Many employees don’t understand reasonable accommodation or what it takes to get FMLA or state paid leave. When leaders or HR fail to speak to employees about options for possible health conditions, the employee can suffer. Also, stop pretending all jobs can easily handle an employee taking multiple 30-min bathroom breaks. Many jobs actually need people in certain locations and safety can be a major factor. Harassment in the workplace also has its own legal definition. Let’s not use the word incorrectly to add drama to a situation. I expect more from HR professionals. #humanresources #hrtiktok #corporatelife #manager #managersbelike
