Independent contractors would get new protections against unfair treatment.
This bill would make independent contractors eligible for the same anti-discrimination and equal pay protections as traditional employees. It would change several federal laws to include independent contractors, meaning they could not be discriminated against based on things like race, age, or disability. This affects millions of independent contractors and the businesses that hire them.
Today, independent contractors generally do not have federal anti-discrimination and equal pay protections. This bill would change federal laws to treat independent contractors like employees for these protections. This would cover discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, and genetic information, as well as equal pay.
