Using equipment reserved for another user.

Penalty: Suspension from the cleanroom for up to three weeks. Repeat Offenders will incur more severe penalties.

A user is not able to login to any equipment reserved by another user for the first 15 minutes of the first hour the equipment is reserved. If the person who reserved it, does not show up in the first 15 minutes, any other authorized user can use the machine after that time.

If a user's run exceeds his/her scheduled time, the next user who has reserved the equipment should reach a compromise with the previous user. The machine belongs to the user who reserved it, and it is entirely his/her decision to allow or disallow the previous user from using it.

The user should however be careful in allowing the previous user to continue using the equipment, as he/she faces the risk of violating a cleanroom policy. Also, after 15 minutes is up, if another user finds the equipment not in use, and begins using it, the machine belongs to this user. Therefore, if a user allows the previous user to use the equipment, he/she must log into the equipment after logging out the other user. The user should then be around the equipment.
