The proposed "Warehouse Worker Protection Act" aims to enhance the rights and safety of employees working in warehouse distribution centers. It mandates that employers provide a written description of any quotas that employees are subject to 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. Employers are also required to disclose any changes to quotas.

The act prohibits employers from enforcing quotas that prevent compliance with meal or rest periods, use of bathroom facilities, or adherence to occupational health and safety laws. Employers are prohibited from taking adverse employment actions against employees for failing to meet quotas that do not allow for compliance with these rights or for failing to meet quotas that have not been disclosed.

Additionally, employees have the right to request a written description of their quotas and a copy of their own work speed data, as well as aggregated work speed data for comparable employees in the facility. The act establishes a rebuttable presumption of unlawful retaliation if an employer discriminates, retaliates, or takes adverse action against an employee for exercising their rights under this chapter.

The act introduces several key definitions, including "quota," "employee work speed data," and "warehouse distribution center," to clarify the scope of its provisions. The provisions of the act are severable, ensuring that if any part is deemed invalid, the remaining sections will still be enforceable. This legislation is set to take effect upon passage.
