Easier Equity Compensation for Gig Workers

This act aims to make it easier for companies to offer company shares as a form of payment to individuals providing services, such as drivers or delivery personnel, who are not traditional employees. These changes could impact how gig economy workers are compensated, providing more options for companies and potentially new earning opportunities for workers. The act also prevents states from automatically classifying these individuals as employees for wage and benefit purposes.
