Bill > HB2361

This bill establishes comprehensive labor protections for warehouse distribution center employees, focusing on quota transparency, worker rights, and safety. The legislation requires employers with 100 or more employees at a single warehouse or 500 or more employees across multiple warehouses to provide detailed written descriptions of performance quotas to workers, including potential consequences for not meeting those quotas. Employers must disclose quotas in the employee's preferred language, specifying the number of tasks to be performed, potential adverse employment actions, and any associated incentive programs. The bill prohibits quotas that prevent workers from taking meal breaks, rest periods, or bathroom breaks, and mandates that quotas cannot rank employees against each other's performance. Additionally, the bill requires employers to maintain records of employee work speed data, establish joint labor management safety committees, and provides strong protections against retaliation for workers who request information or file complaints. The Industrial Commission of Arizona will oversee enforcement, with the ability to investigate workplaces with high injury rates, assess civil penalties, and require employers to post worker rights information. Workers and their representatives can also bring private legal actions to enforce these provisions, with potential damages up to $10,000 or three times actual damages in cases of retaliation.
