I am in total agreement with re-using safe(within spec, no cracks, etc.) rotors with new pads. Even unturned, in-spec rotors should do no more than wear the pads a bit faster.
But - We live in a liability paranoid world so if I were a shop, new pads, new rotors would be the standard job.
I don't even think a customer signing a release (Old rotors, in spec, legal jargon, Blah, Blah, Blah) would release a shop from liability if there were an accident that could be some how traced back to stopping the car

So if your car is pure shop repaired, pads & rotors would be expected
DIY - its your call and your responsibility to keep it safe
