18 Jun 2024 Amazon.com Services, LLCAmazon: 5.9 million USD – undisclosed productivity quotas in two warehouses (Warehouse Quotas Law) €5.51m
Amazon did not inform employees at two warehouses in Moreno Valley and Redlands in writing of the productivity quotas that applied; the authority regarded the peer-to-peer rating system used as a quota within the meaning of the law, which prohibits quotas that prevent breaks, toilet visits or compliance with health and safety. For 59,017 violations between October 2023 and March 2024, the Labor Commissioner’s Office imposed 5,901,700 USD.
Disclose performance metrics for employees, and do not let them effectively prevent breaks – even when they come in the guise of peer ratings.

8 Feb 2024 La Mina De Oro Inc., KD Distributors, Inc. und Desire Fragrances Inc.La Mina de Oro: 1 million USD – warehouse workers without daily overtime and genuine breaks €929,541
Warehouse and sales staff were not paid for all hours worked, received overtime premiums only after 40 hours a week instead of after eight hours a day, and had to remain available to customers during rest and meal breaks. Following citations issued in 2021, the California Labor Commissioner’s Office agreed a settlement of 1 million USD for 107 employees.
A break during which employees must remain available is legally working time – break arrangements must ensure genuine interruptions.
Breaks are time off work – not standby
