Flexible Work Agreements: New Employment and Tax Rules
This act introduces a new type of employment agreement called a "worker flexibility agreement." It allows individuals to waive certain standard employee rights, such as minimum wage and overtime protections, in exchange for greater freedom in choosing tasks and work hours. It's crucial for citizens to understand that signing such an agreement changes their tax status and access to certain benefits.
