- They’re portable – individuals can take form job to job as they’re connected to individual, not the employer.
- They’re prorated – meaning contributions to benefits funds can be made on the basis of hours worked or other productive units (such as per trip if it’s a ride-share program) and multiple employers can support these benefits at the same time or over time.
- They’re universal – available to workers regardless of the work arrangement.
