FL S1706

Creates the "Warehouse Worker Protection Act" (Part III of Chapter 448, Florida Statutes) regulating warehouse distribution centers with at least 100 employees at a single site or 500+ employees statewide, covering facilities classified under specific NAICS codes for wholesalers, warehousing, e-commerce, and courier services

Requires employers to provide each employee a written description of all quotas upon hire or within 30 days of the July 1, 2025 effective date, including tasks required, potential adverse actions for failing to meet quotas, and any incentive programs; quotas may not measure output in increments shorter than one full day or rank employees against each other

Mandates employers establish safety committees, with employers of 25+ employees required in all cases and smaller employers required if their injury rates or workers' compensation premium rates exceed specified thresholds; worksites with injury incidence rates 30% or more above industry averages trigger mandatory investigations and monthly safety committee meetings for 2 consecutive years

Prohibits retaliation against employees exercising rights under the act, with a rebuttable presumption of violation if adverse action occurs within 90 days of protected activity; employers must rebut by clear and convincing evidence that the protected activity was not a motivating factor

Authorizes enforcement by the Secretary of Commerce, Attorney General, state attorneys, city attorneys, or employees themselves, with courts empowered to award treble damages or $10,000 (whichever is greater), penalties of at least $100 per employee per pay period for undisclosed quotas, injunctive relief, and reasonable attorney fees and costs
