Lets companies offer benefits to workers without changing their employment status
This bill would let companies provide benefits like health insurance or training to workers without those benefits being used to decide if the worker is an employee. This means companies could offer more support to independent contractors. It would also give workers access to benefits they might not otherwise get.
Today, if a company offers benefits like health insurance or paid time off to a worker, that can be used as a reason to classify the worker as a full employee under federal law. If this bill passes, providing any type of benefit would no longer be a factor in deciding a worker's employment status.
