Khosrowshahi advocated for the legal creation of a third employment classification between the current mutually exclusive classes of "employee" and "independent contractor", so that gig workers can have the flexibility and freedom to fit work into their schedules, while also allowing companies to provide some benefits for them without being forced into the full requirements associated with "employee" classification, which does not allow schedules chosen by the employee, or under 40 hour schedules like the "independent contractor" classification does. He also calls for benefits funds, which pay workers extra cash for each hour worked, that they can use for the benefits they want, (like health insurance or paid time off), while allowing them to work for multiple different companies, all of which would give them cash for this benefit fund based on the hours worked for each company. Projected Effects Driver earnings The California Legislative Analyst's Office stated in an analysis of the Proposition: "Most drivers work part time and many drivers only work for a short time or only drive occasionally." and "Most drivers probably make between $11 and $16 per hour, after accounting for waiting time and driving expenses." Separate from this, a highly contentious literature exists on the topic, with estimates for earnings after Prop-22 ranging as low as $5.64/hour to as high as $25.61/hour, on accounting for idle waiting time, wear-and-tear, and fuel in both cases. Uber said that 90% of their 1.2 million drivers nationwide work less than 40 hours per week, with 80% working less than 20 hours per week, and that if they were required to classify drivers as employees, they would terminate 80% of their drivers because their nationwide business can only support 250,000 full-time jobs. Driver flexibility Uber claims that Prop-22 is "a better alternative than employment with a full-time, fixed schedule". Critics have argued that Prop-22 would still allow for loopholes allowing gig companies to control drivers' schedules, like penalizing or deactivating workers for cancelling jobs, requiring workers to accept a specific percentage of jobs so that they can continue working. Driver benefits As Uber indicates on their website, the driver must be the primary policyholder order to qualify for the healthcare stipend. It specified that Medicare and Medicaid plans and those paid by employers are cannot avail of this benefit. Some have argued that since only "active time" is counted toward the 15 hours / week minimum, with time
