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 within Florida Statutes, specifically sections 448.27 through 448.35, which define key terms, require the formation of safety committees for larger employers, and mandate quota disclosures. Employers must provide written descriptions of quotas, maintain accurate work speed records, and ensure employees are not penalized for failing to meet undisclosed or illegal quotas. The bill also empowers the Secretary of the Department of Commerce to enforce these regulations, issue citations for non-compliance, and allows employees to request their work speed data and quota information at no cost.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions that protect employees from adverse actions related to quota performance and establishes a rebuttable presumption of retaliation for adverse actions occurring within 90 days of employees exercising their rights. It allows former employees to request quota and work speed data within three years of separation, mandates investigations into employers with high injury rates, and requires monthly safety committee meetings if such rates persist. The Secretary of the Department is tasked with reporting on complaints and injury rates by January 1, 2026, and the act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
