Portable Benefits: No Impact on Employee Status Determination.

This bill aims to make it easier for individuals in flexible work arrangements to access benefits like health insurance or retirement savings. By ensuring that offering such benefits does not automatically classify a person as an employee, it encourages more companies to provide "portable" benefits. This means more people could gain access to important benefits, regardless of whether they are full-time employees or work on a more flexible basis.
Key points
Companies can offer benefits (e.g., health insurance, retirement) without the individual being automatically considered a traditional employee.
More individuals in flexible work arrangements may gain access to important benefits previously mainly available to full-time employees.
Benefits like health insurance, retirement savings, training, or paid leave can be "portable," meaning they remain with the individual regardless of job changes.
