TEMP Act of 2023

Bill 118 s 3253, also known as the Temporary Employment and Mobility Protection Act of 2023 (TEMP Act), is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The main goal of this bill is to provide temporary workers with increased protections and benefits in the workplace.

One of the key provisions of the TEMP Act is the establishment of a minimum wage for temporary workers that is equal to the federal minimum wage. This ensures that temporary workers are not paid less than their full-time counterparts for the same work. Additionally, the bill includes provisions for paid sick leave and family leave for temporary workers, as well as protections against discrimination and harassment in the workplace.

The TEMP Act also aims to improve the mobility of temporary workers by providing assistance with relocation expenses and job training programs. This is intended to help temporary workers find new employment opportunities more easily and reduce the financial burden of moving for work. Overall, the TEMP Act seeks to address the unique challenges faced by temporary workers in the US labor market and provide them with greater stability and security in their employment. It is currently being debated in Congress and may undergo changes before being voted on.
