Sellita charges employees to use the loo

Saw this on another forum and thought I'd share. I can't quite believe any employer in the western world can get away with kind of practice:

It's enough to make me pass on any watch powered by a Sellita. Does CW use Sellita movements?

I’d want to know a bit about the barely-referenced Swiss court case that is apparently the reason for this before jumping to conclusions.

Yes, CW uses Selitta drop in movements, or movements relying on a Selitta base for the vast majority of watches they sell, except for the SH21 in-house powered watches and the quartz Chronograph which is an ETA movement.

Are MeisterSinger employees still paid while working on No.1 and No.2s…?

Really? Have you no experience with hourly work or retail environments? It’s rather common practice, at least here in the USA and of what I know of Canada. Restroom breaks are typically expected to be during an employee’s scheduled break time or offset by deduction from break time for unscheduled leave for the restroom. It can happen with salaried workers as well if they’re unavailable for extended periods and seen as abusing allotted break time. One of my previous employers tracked cigarette breaks among salaried staff as part of employees’ break time.

Worked in retail and on factory floors many moons ago, but never had to clock out to go to the loo. It shouldn't matter where you work, making employees clock in and out to go to the toilet is degrading. Going to the toilet is a biological necessity and can't be dictated by set break times to please a pay master.

Ciggie breaks are a different thing and rightly so. That's a choice, so save it for designated break times.
