The proposed bill introduces the "Warehouse Worker Protection Act" to Title 28 of the General Laws, aimed at safeguarding the rights of nonexempt employees working in warehouse distribution centers. Key provisions include the requirement for employers to provide each employee, upon hire, with a written description of each quota to which the employee is subject. This description must include 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 the quota. Employers are also required to disclose any changes to quotas in writing at least two days in advance of their implementation and cannot impose quotas that interfere with employees' meal or rest periods or compliance with health and safety laws.

The bill establishes a framework for employees to request their own work speed data and aggregated work speed data for comparable employees, with a stipulated timeframe of twenty-one days for employers to respond. It includes protections against unlawful retaliation, creating a rebuttable presumption of unlawful retaliation if an employer discriminates, retaliates, or takes adverse action against an employee for exercising their rights under the act. The Department of Labor and Training is tasked with adopting rules to implement and enforce the chapter, and employees may bring actions for injunctive relief to ensure compliance. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2027.
