An Act relating to work quotas for employees at warehouse distribution centers; and providing for an effective date.
This bill establishes new rules for employers operating large warehouse distribution centers in Alaska, specifically targeting those with 100 or more employees at a single location or 1,000 or more across the state. It requires these employers to provide written details of any work quotas, including the time period, specific tasks required, and potential penalties for not meeting them, while also granting employees the right to request their recent work speed data. The legislation prohibits quotas that would force workers to skip bathroom breaks or violate safety laws and allows employees to seek court injunctions if their employer violates these standards. Although the bill was passed by the legislature, it was vetoed by the Governor and did not become law.
