Why This Matters
This bill makes sure that benefits provided to workers do not affect whether they are classified as employees. This matters because it helps protect workers' access to important benefits, even if they change jobs or work for multiple employers.
If you rely on benefits from your job, this bill could help you keep them even if you switch jobs.
