View All NewsEtsy wants rules to help gig workers (Fortune)
September 28, 2016
Online marketplace Etsy has called for changes to make things easier for gig economy workers, Fortune reports. They include a requirement for gig economy companies to withhold money for taxes and benefits if self-employed workers ask them to, the magazine reported. “The changes would make it easier for millions of workers — including the thousands of people who sell things on Etsy — to avail themselves of existing programs like flexible health and commuter spending accounts.”
