collective bargaining; warehouse employees; quotas

HB 2361 requires Arizona employers at large warehouse distribution centers (with 100+ employees at one site or 500+ across sites) to provide warehouse employees with written, plain-language descriptions of all performance quotas within 30 days of hire. The bill bans quotas that measure time intervals shorter than one day, rank employees against each other, or prevent compliance with meal/bathroom breaks, and mandates that employers include rest/bathroom time in productivity calculations. Employers must also maintain records of work speed data and quota descriptions for three years and disclose the specific quota and data used if taking adverse action for missing a quota. This directly affects warehouse employees in Arizona’s distribution centers who work under performance targets.
