Key points

  • Defines benefits broadly to include workers' compensation, health insurance, retirement savings, paid leave, and skills training that a worker keeps regardless of continued work for the same company
  • Covers contributions made by the company, the worker, or both toward those benefits
  • Takes effect on the date of enactment and is cited as the Modern Worker Security Act
