Bill > S1164

This bill aims to protect warehouse workers by introducing new regulations on quotas and work speed monitoring. Key provisions include: 1. Requiring employers to provide written descriptions of quotas (quantified performance targets) to employees upon hire and whenever quotas change, and prohibiting employers from requiring employees to meet quotas that prevent compliance with meal/rest periods or bathroom breaks. 2. Mandating employers to maintain records of employees' personal work speed data and aggregated data for similar employees, and allowing current and former employees to request these records. 3. Prohibiting retaliation against employees for exercising their rights under the law, and establishing a rebuttable presumption of retaliation if an adverse action is taken within 90 days of an employee's rights-related activity. 4. Empowering the Commissioner to investigate workplaces with high injury rates and authorizing employees to bring civil actions for injunctive relief and damages in case of quota-related violations or retaliation. The bill aims to increase transparency and protect warehouse workers from overly demanding quotas and potential retaliation for exercising their rights.
