Traditional jobs often come with a suite of benefits, including health insurance, retirement plans, paid time off, and sick leave.
Traditional jobs often come with a suite of benefits, including health insurance, retirement plans, paid time off, and sick leave. Gig workers, on the other hand, generally do not receive these benefits. This lack of support means gig workers must find and pay for their own health insurance, save for retirement independently, and forgo paid leave. The absence of these benefits can result in added financial strain and reduced financial security, making it essential for gig workers to carefully plan and manage their finances to compensate for these gaps.
