WORKER FLEXIBILITY AND CHOICE ACT (WFCA)
Authored by Congressman Henry Cuellar (D-TX) and Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY), and co-sponsored by Congresswoman Michelle Steel (R-CA), the Workforce Flexibility and Choice Act (WFCA) would establish a new work arrangement that combines the flexibility of independent work with certain workplace protections and opportunity for additional benefits. The relationship between the worker and the entity would be clearly defined through a “worker flexibility agreement” and voluntarily agreed to before work begins.
Specifically, the agreement would:
- Ensure the independent worker retains the freedom and flexibility to accept or reject offers to provide their services, giving them control over when, where, and how much they wish to work.
- Promote worker freedom without infringing on certain workplace rights, including protections against discrimination, retaliation, and harassment.
- Allow the independent worker to engage with and provide services for multiple entities at any given time.
- Provide the independent worker a written summary of any health, pension, training, other benefits they may be eligible to receive.

“Independent work is here to stay, and it is long past time that Congress enact a permanent solution to provide independent workers and businesses with the certainty they need to engage in the modern economy."
