HB 669 Ohio House · 135th Legislature (2023-2024)

Enact the Warehouse Worker Protection Act

HB 669, known as the Warehouse Worker Protection Act, regulates how employers at warehouse distribution centers in the state use performance quotas to measure employee productivity. The bill applies to large employers, specifically those with 100 or more workers at a single facility or 500 or more across multiple sites, requiring them to provide clear written descriptions of any quotas and potential consequences for non-compliance in plain language. Key provisions mandate that employers count time spent on safety tasks, restroom breaks, and meal breaks as productive work time, while also prohibiting quotas that prevent employees from taking legal breaks or rank workers against one another. Additionally, the act requires employers to keep detailed records of performance data for at least three years and make these records available to employees upon request.
