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.
