Gig Worker Protection Act

The Gig Worker Protection Act aims to improve conditions for gig economy workers—those who do freelance, platform-based, or short-term jobs—by establishing fair treatment standards. It may include provisions such as ensuring workers are classified correctly, providing access to benefits like workers’ compensation, and improving workplace safety. The law recognizes that gig workers often lack traditional employee protections and seeks to address issues like income stability and fair pay, promoting transparency and fairness in the gig economy. This legislation strives to balance flexibility with essential protections, fostering a safer, more equitable environment for gig workers.
