Right to request

§ 785. Right to request. 1. A current employee has the right to
request a written description of each quota to which the employee is

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.
