Bill > AB701

This bill aims to regulate workplace quotas and monitoring systems in warehouse distribution centers in California. The key provisions are: 1. Employers must provide employees with written descriptions of any quotas they are subject to, including the quantified tasks or production requirements within a defined time period, and any potential adverse actions for not meeting the quota. 2. Employees cannot be required to meet quotas that prevent compliance with meal/rest breaks, bathroom access, or occupational health and safety laws. Employers are prohibited from taking adverse action for failing to meet such quotas. 3. Any actions taken by employees to comply with health/safety laws are considered "productive time" for quota purposes. 4. Employees have the right to request information about their quotas and personal work speed data, and are protected from retaliation for making such requests or filing related complaints. 5. The Labor Commissioner is tasked with enforcing these provisions through coordinated efforts with other state agencies, and can adopt regulations and take enforcement actions. 6. Employees can also bring private actions for injunctive relief to obtain compliance with the requirements of the bill.
