such laws would not depend on which state you are but differs from organization to organization. An employer is free to make internal rules and regulations. so every organization have different rules relating to this. However not many specifically mentions laws about bathroom usage. \n\nHowever, an organization can not make rules that are arbitary, agianst equality or racial. You can find more about this in this article(link below).

Women take longer to go as they can't just unzip their pants and they are also the ones taking young children to the bathroom. They also go more often because they get periods. They have extra stalls because otherwise the line is much longer. People who inspect restrooms for cleanliness as a job are people who formerly cleaned it and got promoted. If no one inspects then people will do a bad job of cleaning it. Most women don't like to use a filthy bathroom so we are concerned with it being clean

If it is legal, you can check with your payroll or human resources department.  Otherwise you might wanna add more info as to what you are trying to find.

Your toilet seat is cleaner than your keyboard \n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\nposted 9:20am EST Tue May 14 2002 - submitted by Thomas \nNEWS\nA recent study done by Clorox aimed to find the most germ-ridden surfaces in the workplace. The surface would be a "high-touch" area, meaning it was touched frequently by workers nearly all day long. Remarkably, toilet seats were found to be one of the cleaner surfaces, but telephones and computer keyboards were found to be some of the most filthy.\n\nThere are several obvious factors at play here. The more often something is touched, the more germs it collects. On a busy work day it was found that the average employee is touching ten items per minute. Also, janitors are expected to clean toilets regularly, but are often asked not to disturb workspaces. The study found that bacteria can grow 19 to 31% a day in a workstation if nothing is done. Employees who frequently wipe down their areas with anti-bacterial products were found to reduce the bacteria count 99.9% in two days' time.\n\nThe study was conducted in Tucson, San Francisco, New York, and Tampa. Tucson was found to have the cleanest desks, and New York was found to have the dirtiest. The researchers believe Tucson's desert climate is not as inviting to bacteria. The most germ-ridden surface in Tucson was, in fact, the water fountain handle, demonstrating that moisture is an important factor. Clorox also speculates that in "busier" cities employees are more likely to eat in their workplace, which increases the risk of bacteria spreading.\n\nThe dirtiest areas in the workplace were telephones, but fax machines, water fountain handles, microwave door handles, and computer keyboards were not far behind in the 7,000 items sampled in the survey. Scott Harper, environmental health and safety director for Pima Community College concludes:\n\nI don't want to create a paranoia about touching anything, but we can go a long ways to increase awareness about the benefits of washing your hands or wiping down your desk.\n\nWhat diseases can you catch from toilet seats?\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nDear Straight Dope:\n\nWhat EXACTLY can you catch from sitting on a toilet seat? I took an informal survey and asked several of my girlfriends if they sit on public toilet seats, and 9 of the 11 of them never do. When I asked why, all of them had some variation of "You never know what you can catch from a toilet seat." So, please clear this up for all of us women who are afraid to sit down in a public restroom. --Nicole Anderson, Millis, MA\n\nSDSTAFF Jill replies:\n\nYou can get cooties, and that's about it. Sexually transmitted diseases are spread via sexual intercourse with an infected person. Most of them are spread more easily from male to female. The diseases vary in how infectious they are, but none of them are spread on toilet seats (well, assuming you're using the toilet seat for what it was intended). Most bugs don't tend to live on cool, hard surfaces.\n\nI could add that a couple of diseases - syphilis and herpes - can be spread by direct non-sexual contact with infectious lesions, so make sure there is not an infected person already on the toilet when you sit down. One should consider HOW people sit on toilet seats. Genital and anal infections most likely would not come in contact with the seat in normal use. Intact skin is a good barrier against most disease organisms ... unless of course one were to pick up a bacterium or virus on the seat, then immediately plant their buttocks on someone's nose and mouth. If this were to happen to me, disease transmission would be the least of my concerns.\n\nAs far as other kinds of diseases that have different routes of transmission, such as oral/fecal or airborne, the hands are more to blame for spreading these diseases than the bott

Your boss is a liar and a thief.  You make minimum wage no matter how many hours you work.  Also, posted in all places of employment is an "Employees Rights" poster.  Often it is posted in employee bathrooms.  See if there is a poster and, if not, he just violated two laws.

They must provide access. They could close one bathroom for cleaning provided another is open. Or, they could close them if an attendant was present to open the door when needed.

No.  Violates OSHA regulations, not to mention common decency.  Look up OSHA in the phone book under government institutions and report them.  Call your local newspaper too!  Oh, and if you have any health problems related to bowel or bladder function, you might want to see an attorney about violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act!

Use the bathroom and take off my work clothes.

Simple answer: YES.  I know of a restaurant where there are urinals in the girls bathroom.  It's a surprise for them to see one as they walk in, of course, but then a few actually use them.  It's faster than waiting in line!

Oh my gosh!  Now, I love my job and there is noting else I would rather do but...my boss is a micromanager to the nth degree.  She is prolific with the e-mails and has no problem storming into employees' offices to harangue them about the smallest thing.  She is always right and will claim she never said "...xyz..." to you if it comes back that it truly was a mistake. When I came to her and told her I was pregnant and wanted to set aside some time to talk about maternity leave she said:  "You know.  You don't have to keep it."  Yep.  That's right.  Upon returning from vacation, from where she calls multiple times a day, she will inspect the entire building and then send an email outlining the most innane things.  For example:  "Folks.  Upon my return I noticed the mat outside the side entrance was askew.  It should be flush with the door.  Also, it seems that someone cannot flush the toilet properly.  There were toilet tissue flakes floating in the bowl.  Please flush twice to make sure all tissue is disposed of.  For whoever used the stapler last.  Please replace the staples.  The refrigerator in the staff area has a cherry yogurt on the top shelf.  I am not sure if everyone is aware that the top shelf is for my salads.  Please keep all yougurt on the middle shelf."  No lie.  This is almost verbatim.  At one point I had to tell her that a practice that she wanted me to employ was frowned upon by funders.  She told me:  "Do it until someone questions you about it."  Against my better judgement, I did.  It was the board who questioned me about it.  I said  "I have discussed this matter with my superior and was told to continue it."  When she was questioned she claimed to have never had the conversation.  Oh this happens all the time....and not just to me.  Oh I've got enough stories to fill a book.
