Being a gig worker comes with many benefits, but also a few downsides. While traditional employment can offer items like health insurance and voluntary benefits, when working independently, those benefits aren’t as easily available to you. That’s where Gig Worker Solutions comes in. We help you make up for the gaps that come with being a freelance worker. So why are benefits and health insurance so important?
- Financial Protection - Health insurance, identity protection, and legal protection all kick in when you need them most. While health insurance and voluntary benefits like vision and dental provide financial protection if you’re in need of costly procedures or diagnosed with a serious illness, they also help cover the cost of preventative trips and yearly exams. Going to the doctor regularly can help keep costs down in the future, as it helps catch problems early on, or mitigate them altogether. Where insurance protects your health and wellness, identity and legal protection protects your assets and information. Life is unexpected, and setting yourself up with a safety net is one of the best decisions you can make as a business owner, individual, and head of your household.
- Access to Healthcare - Your health, regardless of employment type, should always be a priority and something you can use. Preventive care, regular check-ups, and medical treatment are linked to a better quality of life, which in turn helps you function better in your day-to-day life and in your professional work.
- Compliance - Under the Affordable Care Act, most individuals are required to have health insurance. But you might also be expected to have some type of liability insurance. Whether this is creating an LLC for your business, or opting in liability coverage of some kind, having some type of plan to protect your business and your belongings is incredibly important.
- Peace of Mind - The stress that comes with not being insured, in any capacity, can take its toll on anyone. This is especially true if you have a family or assets that you need to protect. Gig Worker Solutions offers a variety of plans or professional assistance with choosing the best way to cover all the bases.
Gig Worker Solutions puts the power back in your hands to choose which plans you actually need, with the coverage that puts your mind at ease. The most important thing is that you do what’s right for you, your business, and your family, and we’re here to help in any way that we can.
