Freelancers need benefits too
Freelancing has become increasingly popular over the past few years, with more people choosing to work for themselves rather than a traditional W2 employer. While there are certainly benefits to freelancing, there are also some downsides. One of the most significant disadvantages is that freelancers do not receive the same benefits as W2 employees. In this blog post, we will explore some of the benefits that freelancers don't receive but that W2 workers would.
Spoiler alert: Gigworkersolutions solves all this for you and more.
Health Insurance: One of the most significant benefits that W2 workers receive that freelancers don't is health insurance. Many W2 employers offer health insurance as part of their benefits package, providing employees with access to quality healthcare at an affordable price. Freelancers, on the other hand, are responsible for finding and paying for their own health insurance, which can be a significant financial burden.
Retirement Benefits: W2 workers are also eligible for retirement benefits, such as a 401(k) or pension plan, which allow them to save for their future. Freelancers, on the other hand, do not have access to these benefits and must rely on their own savings and investments to prepare for retirement.
Workers' Compensation: W2 workers are also protected by workers' compensation laws, which provide them with financial support if they are injured on the job. Freelancers, on the other hand, do not have access to workers' compensation and are responsible for their own medical bills and lost income if they are injured while working.
