Bill Summary
Relative to warehouse workers. Labor and Workforce Development.
AI Summary
This bill aims to protect warehouse workers by regulating the use of quotas and work speed monitoring in warehouse distribution centers. It defines key terms like "quota," "employee work speed data," and "warehouse distribution center." The bill requires employers to provide written descriptions of quotas to workers, prohibits quotas that prevent compliance with meal/rest periods or bathroom breaks, and mandates record-keeping of worker data. It also prohibits retaliation against workers who exercise their rights under the bill and allows current/former employees to request their own work speed data and aggregated data for similar employees. The bill authorizes the Commissioner to investigate high-injury worksites and allows workers or their representatives to seek injunctive relief and damages for violations.
