HB2547 - Warehouse Worker Protection Act

• Applies to warehouse distribution centers (defined by NAICS codes) with employers controlling 250+ employees at a single location or 1,000+ across multiple locations in Illinois.

• Requires employers to provide written disclosure of all work quotas upon hire or within 30 days of the act's effective date, including specific performance standards and potential consequences for non-compliance, with updates within 5 business days of any quota changes.

• Prohibits quotas that prevent employees from taking meal breaks, rest periods, or using bathroom facilities, and bars employers from taking adverse employment actions based on quotas that do not allow such compliance or that were not properly disclosed.

• Grants current and former employees the right to request their personal work speed data and aggregated data from similar employees for the past 90 days at no cost, with employers required to provide information within 7 calendar days.

• Creates a rebuttable presumption of unlawful retaliation if an employer takes adverse action within 90 days of an employee requesting quota information or filing a complaint, and allows employees to pursue civil action for injunctive relief with recovery of attorney's fees.
