This bill proposes significant updates to Arizona's labor statutes by introducing new definitions and requirements specifically related to employee quotas and work speed data in warehouse distribution centers. Key definitions include "aggregated data," "employee's work speed data," and "quota," which establish a framework for how employers must manage and disclose performance expectations. Employers will be required to provide written descriptions of quotas, potential adverse actions for not meeting them, and any associated incentive programs. Additionally, if quotas change, employers must notify employees both verbally and in writing, ensuring transparency in performance expectations.
The bill also mandates that employers maintain accurate records of employee work speed data and aggregated data for similar employees, which must be accessible to employees and relevant authorities. It prohibits retaliation against employees for inquiring about quotas or work speed data and establishes penalties for non-compliance. Furthermore, it requires the formation of joint labor management safety committees for employers with a certain number of employees, aimed at addressing workplace safety and health concerns. Overall, the bill seeks to enhance employee rights and safety in the workplace by ensuring clear communication and accountability regarding performance metrics.
