Collective Benefits Founder & CEO, Anthony Beilin
Manage episode 297061408 series 2824070
A back injury - possibly caused by some overexuberant dancing at a wedding - put Anthony Beilin out of action for six months. Luckily, he worked full-time, at Aviva. His income didn't suffer, and he received all the physical and emotional help he needed. But when a contractor friend came to see him - and told him of his loss of income and benefits while off from a knee-op - the proverbial lightbulb went off in Anthony's brain. Why, he reasoned, should gig-workers, freelancers and contractors be deprived of sick pay, holiday pay and other benefits just because of the way they work? This issue became especially pressing during the pandemic - giving Collective Benefits a perfectly-timed opportunity to step into the breach.
