This legislation seeks to clarify how an individual's employment status is determined under federal law. Its primary purpose is to ensure that the provision of certain benefits by a person to an individual is explicitly excluded from consideration when deciding if that individual is an employee. Specifically, the bill states that federal employment status determinations will not take into account whether a person provides benefits that are portable , meaning they can be maintained even if the individual stops working for that person. It also excludes benefits typically offered to full-time employees , such as health or retirement plans, and any associated financial contributions made by either the person or the individual. This measure aims to facilitate the offering of benefits to independent contractors without inadvertently altering their classification as non-employees.
