NY A01000

Removes the definition of "designated employee representative" and simplifies the definition of "employee" to include workers not exempt from minimum wage provisions who work at warehouse distribution centers and are subject to quotas, excluding drivers and couriers.

Changes the employer threshold from 500 to 1,000 employees at one or more warehouse distribution centers statewide to be subject to the law's requirements.

Modifies employee data request rights by allowing current or former employees who believe they were disciplined for failing to meet a quota or whose quota compliance violated break rights to request 90 days of personal work speed data and aggregated comparative data, with a 14-calendar-day response deadline instead of the previous timeline.

Narrows retaliation protections to apply only when an employer takes adverse action within 90 days of an employee's first annual request for quota information or filing a complaint, establishing a rebuttable presumption of unlawful retaliation.

Delays the effective date of the warehouse worker protection act from 60 days to 180 days after enactment and allows the commissioner to adopt necessary rules and regulations immediately to implement the act by its effective date.
