The bill would create protections for certain warehouse workers at employers with more than 200 employees across their covered facilities. It would require employers to explain work quotas and how they use worker performance data. It would limit quotas that interfere with legally required breaks, safety rules, bathroom use, or workers’ rights. Employers would also have to provide a paid 15-minute rest break for every four hours worked, keep certain records, and protect workers from retaliation for using their rights. The bill would direct the Labor Department to set workplace safety standards and strengthen enforcement.
If you are a covered warehouse worker subject to a quota, your employer would have to explain the quota and related monitoring, provide access to certain work-speed data, and give written reasons for certain job actions. You could also request corrections to inaccurate data and file a complaint. The bill would require paid rest breaks and prohibit retaliation for exercising these rights.
The bill authorizes funding as needed for fiscal years 2026 through 2036 but does not specify an amount. No estimate of employer compliance costs is provided.
