A Chinese organisation Anpu Electric Science and Technology has come under blast after news emerged that it was fining “lazy” employees who take more than one toilet break per day.
The Chinese company located in Dongguan, Guangdong province, admitted to fining employees $3 for using the toilet more than once a day.
In notices issued by the company and leaked online, at least seven staff members were penalized on December 20 and 21.
Trying to explain why it began using this unusual rule, company officials said management’s decision to create the bizarre rule was because many employees were lazy and used toilet breaks to smoke and avoid their duties.
“We are helpless. The fact is that the workers are lazy at work,” a company manager, surnamed Cao, told Guangdong TV. “The management talked with those workers many times, but didn’t achieve a positive result yet.”
Cao added that the toilet break-limiting rule was deemed a better alternative to firing staff, because finding new workers would have been more difficult.
He also clarified that offenders had not been asked to pay the $3 fines, instead, the money was deducted from their monthly bonuses.
To avoid paying the fine, an employee who desires to take a toilet break more than once a day would have to register with their boss before visiting the restroom.
