House Bill No. 6907 seeks to enhance protections for employees in warehouse distribution centers by regulating the use of production quotas. The bill mandates that employers provide written descriptions of quotas, including potential adverse actions for failing to meet them, and prohibits quotas from interfering with meal periods or bathroom breaks. Employers are also required to maintain accurate records of work speed data for three years and notify employees of any changes to quotas. Additionally, employees and former employees can request their work speed data and quota descriptions, with employers obligated to respond within fifteen days. The bill establishes protections against retaliation for employees who make such requests, creating a rebuttable presumption of retaliation if adverse actions occur within ninety days of these requests.

Amendments to the bill narrow the definition of covered employees to those not exempt from federal minimum wage and overtime laws and limit the types of quotas covered. The rebuttable presumption of retaliation is restricted to adverse actions following an employee's first records request in a calendar year, and a provision requiring the Workers' Compensation Commission to monitor warehouse injury rates has been removed. The bill allows employees to pursue civil actions for violations, with penalties for employers reaching up to $3,000. Overall, HB6907 aims to improve employee rights and safety in warehouse environments while ensuring accountability regarding production quotas.
