Bill > HB06907

This bill establishes comprehensive worker protections for employees at large warehouse distribution centers by regulating the use of productivity quotas. The legislation defines a quota as any work performance standard that measures an employee's productivity speed, tasks completed, or performance relative to other workers, and applies to employers with 100 or more employees at a single warehouse or 1,000 or more employees across multiple warehouses in the state. Starting July 1, 2026, employers must provide written descriptions of quotas to employees, including potential consequences for not meeting them, and cannot create quotas that prevent meal breaks, bathroom use, or interfere with reasonable workplace standards. The bill requires employers to maintain detailed records of work performance data, allows employees to request information about their quotas and performance metrics, and prohibits retaliation against workers who seek such information or challenge quota practices. Employers who violate these provisions can face civil penalties ranging from $1,000 to $3,000 per violation, and the Workers' Compensation Commission will monitor workplace injury rates to help identify potential systemic issues. The law aims to protect warehouse workers from overly aggressive productivity standards that could compromise worker safety and well-being.
