The Warehouse Worker Protection Act introduces new regulations to enhance the safety and rights of employees in warehouse distribution centers in Florida. It establishes sections 448.27 through 448.35 of the Florida Statutes, which define key terms and mandate the formation of safety committees for employers with more than 25 employees. Employers are required to provide written descriptions of quotas to employees, maintain accurate records related to performance and quotas, and notify employees of any changes to quota requirements. The act prohibits adverse personnel actions against employees exercising their rights and allows the Secretary of the Department of Commerce to enforce compliance, issue citations, and investigate employers.

Additionally, the bill allows former employees to request written descriptions of their work quotas and speed data from the previous six months, which employers must provide at no cost. It establishes protections against retaliation for employees exercising their rights, including a rebuttable presumption of retaliation for adverse actions taken within 90 days of protected activity. Enforcement mechanisms are outlined, allowing employees and legal authorities to take action for violations, with courts empowered to award damages and impose penalties. The Secretary of the Department is also tasked with reporting on related complaints and injury rates by January 1, 2026, and the act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
