HB05369: AN ACT PROVIDING PROTECTION AND INCENTIVES FOR FREELANCERS
The Freelancers Protection Act aims to protect the rights of freelancers by requiring written contracts, ensuring timely payment of compensation, and providing legal remedies for non-payment. It also prohibits retaliation against freelancers for asserting their rights.
The criminalization of non-payment of compensation for freelancers will deter hiring parties from exploiting freelancers and ensure that they are fairly compensated for their work.
