What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Modern Worker Security Act," aims to change how workers are classified under Federal law. It seeks to ensure that when officials determine if a person is an employee, they cannot look at whether that person receives certain benefits. The bill defines benefits to include things like health insurance, paid leave, and retirement savings. It specifically targets benefits that an individual can maintain even if they stop working for a specific person. This rule would apply to any Federal law determination regarding employment status.
