Employees using bathroom claim ‘disability’: How can I be sure?

12/15/2011

Q. We have a lot of employees who get tardies for being late and their excuse has been they have been in the bathroom due to disability. So I follow them to the bathroom because I know the employees are lying. Am I breaking the law by following them or is this considered harassment? Please help, because it’s getting out of hand. – Pam, Indiana
