The proposed bill, known as the "Warehouse Worker Protection Act," aims to enhance the rights and safety of nonexempt employees working at warehouse distribution centers who are subject to work quotas. It mandates that employers provide a written description of each quota to employees upon hiring, detailing the quantified number of tasks to be performed or materials to be produced or handled within a defined time period, as well as any potential adverse employment actions that could result from failing to meet these quotas. The requirement to disclose quotas also applies to any changes in the quotas.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that employees shall not be required to meet quotas that prevent compliance with meal or rest periods, the use of bathroom facilities, or occupational health and safety laws. Employers are prohibited from taking adverse employment actions against employees for failing to meet quotas that do not allow compliance with these requirements or for failing to meet quotas that have not been disclosed.

The act establishes that employees may request from their employer the written description of the quota, their own speed data, and aggregated work speed data for comparable employees working in the facility. It also creates a rebuttable presumption of unlawful retaliation if an employer discriminates, retaliates, or takes any adverse action against an employee for exercising their rights under this chapter. The provisions of the act are severable, meaning that if any provision is held invalid, it will not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. The act will take effect upon passage.
