Could you go all day (8-9 hours) during work without using the toilet?
WaterSaver's CEO, Steve Kersten, said 120 hours of production were lost in May because of bathroom visits outside of allotted break times.
To recoup lost hours, WaterSaver has adopted a rewards system where workers can earn a gift card of up to $20 each month ($1 a day) if they don't use the bathroom at all during work time. CEO Kersten said a few workers have already earned them.
He said that so far no one has been suspended or terminated, although warnings were issued. The company has a three step disciplinary process that starts with a verbal or written warning, which can then lead to a suspension, and finally a termination.

Wow.
Bathroom time that is used for actually going to the bathroom shouldn't be an issue. If you gotta go, you just gotta go. Natural human functions, etc.
Now if you are using bathroom time to take dirty selfies or touch yourself... then I could see them having a problem with your lack of productivity.... Maybe.
