Impact Analysis

Life & Work
Gig workers are generally classified as independent contractors, not employees, so they would not qualify for the overtime deduction under this bill. The bill requires overtime to be defined through either the Fair Labor Standards Act or a formal employment agreement, neither of which typically applies to gig workers. This creates a gap where people who work long hours in the gig economy get no tax relief while traditional employees do.
