Modern Worker Security Act

The bill would prohibit federal agencies and courts, for purposes of any federal law, from considering whether a person provides benefits to an individual when determining if that individual is an employee of that person. Under the bill, "benefits" include portable protections such as workers' compensation, skills training, paid leave, disability and health coverage, and retirement or short-term savings, along with financial or other contributions toward those benefits whether made by the employer, the individual, or both. The provision would take effect on the date of enactment.
