Maybe that business offers health savings accounts to their employees and they say to that independent worker, would you like us to put some of the dollars that we would otherwise pay you into that health savings account which allow you to have some tax benefits for the dollars going in there instead of going to you directly? This allows them to do that without taking the risk that in the status quo they have. And that risk is that by simply paying those dollars into a benefited account, that business is at risk that that person could be considered misclassified under New Hampshire law. whether that is workers compensation, unemployment insurance, state labor law, or state tax law.

Workers and employers should have the option to negotiate their own agreements. We owe it to our constituents to hear these arguments." Rep. Daniel Popovici-Muller, R-Windham, authored the bill and said it would be a "win-win" for the state, allowing employees to avoid having to financially support unions. "Many union members are unhappy with the performance of union managers, but have no option to air those grievances," Popovici-Muller said.
