A BILL

To ensure that the provision of portable benefits to an individual is not considered in determining whether such individual is an employee of a person.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. Short title.

This Act may be cited as the “Modern Worker Security Act”.

SEC. 2. Prohibition on consideration of benefits.

(a) Prohibition.—Beginning on the date of enactment of this Act, for the purposes of any Federal law, a determination of whether an individual is an employee of a person shall be made without considering whether such person provides a benefit to the individual.

(b) Benefit defined.—In this Act, the term “benefit” includes—

(1) a benefit, including a protection, that is provided to an individual for work performed for another person that the individual may maintain without regard to whether the individual continues to perform work for such person;

(2) a benefit, including a protection, that is commonly provided to a full-time employee (such as workers’ compensation, skills training, professional development, paid leave, disability coverage, health insurance coverage, retirement savings, and short-term savings); and

(3) a contribution, financial or otherwise, with respect to a benefit described in paragraph (1) or (2) that is—

(A) made on behalf of an individual by a person in connection with work performed by the individual for the person;

(B) made by the individual; or

(C) made through a combination of subparagraphs (A) and (B).

Amend the title so as to read: “A bill to prohibit the consideration of benefits when determining whether an individual is an employee of a person.”.
