By providing a portable restroom on your job site, you can reduce the distance employees must travel to use a restroom as well as the time employees must spend searching for an alternative facility because no close restroom has been provided. The following chart was developed in a study conducted by the Portable Sanitation Association International (PSAI).
The annual cost of 10 minutes of wasted toilet time per employee, per day:
hourly rate |
5 employees |
10 employees |
$7.00 |
$1,487.50 |
$2,975.00 |
$8.00 |
$1,670.00 |
$3,400.00 |
$10.00 |
$2,125.00 |
$4,250.00 |
$13.00 |
$2,762.50 |
$5,525.00 |
$15.00 |
$3,187.50 |
$6,375.00 |
Formula: hourly rate divided by 60 minutes per hour x 10 minutes x number of employees x 255 days per year.
