What's happening
The bill amends labor law to treat denial of promotion due to unmet ticket quotas as penalizing an employee.

Signals legislative intent to scrutinize quota systems. , which may encourage employers to reassess or modify quota policies to avoid legal risks and foster fairer evaluation standards for employee performance.
