dbo:abstract	The Freelance Isn't Free Act (FIFA) is a local New York City law passed by the New York City Council in 2016 that protects the labor rights of freelance workers. The bill passed unanimously, after lobbying by the Freelancers Union. The law was officially enacted on May 15, 2017. The law provides a legal definition for freelance work in New York City and requires companies to provide contracts for freelance workers whenever the work exceeds $800. Without a contract, companies are still required to pay freelancers within 30 days of the work being completed. Finally, companies can't punish workers for exercising the rights granted by the law, and the law allows freelancers to charge penalty fees against companies that violate its clauses. The Act is intended to protect freelancers against clients that unreasonably withhold or delay payment for work. (en)
