  1. Labor Law
  2. Article 21-A. Warehouse Worker Protection Act

§ 785. Right to request. 1. A current employee has the right to

request a written description of each quota to which the employee is

subject. If a current or former employee believes that they have been

disciplined as the result of failing to meet a quota, or that meeting a

quota caused a violation of their right to a meal or rest period or use

of bathroom facilities, including reasonable travel time to and from

bathroom facilities, they have the right to request, and the employer

shall provide, a written description of each quota to which the employee

is subject, a copy of the most recent ninety days of the employee's own

personal work speed data, and a copy of the aggregate work speed data

for similar employees at the same establishment for the same time

period.

2. Such requested records pursuant to this section shall be provided

at no cost to the current or former employee. A former employee is

limited to one request pursuant to this section.

3. An employer that receives a written or oral request for information

pursuant to this section shall comply with the request as soon as

practicable, but no later than fourteen calendar days from the date of

the request.

4. Nothing in this section shall require an employer to use quotas as

defined in this article or monitor work speed data. An employer that

does not monitor this data has no obligation to provide it.

5. The employer must provide the requested written description of any

quota and personal work speed data pursuant to this section in English

and in the language identified by each employee as the primary language

of such employee.
