You know, that's far from "anywhere"... :)
What's wrong with working from mainland Europe assuming one can work within UK hours? (and send invoices at the end of months..., aka long-term contracting)
- mrkurt 11y agoYou can _work_ from anywhere, but we can only employ people who are legally able to work in the US, Canada and the UK. We don't like this restriction, but it's a side effect of being part of a very large organization with processes for hiring in every country already in effect.
- zerr 11y agoThanks for the clarification. Big companies are usually able to hire contractors - i.e. not a regular employee within some country, but just an independent service provider. Companies just pay invoices. No [health] insurance, no [paid] vacations, no work-permit sponsorship needed, etc... It would be great if this is possible for Compose "department" as well.
- mrkurt 11y agoTrust me, we haven't missed an easy workaround for this. Big companies also have processes for getting contractors in place, and in many cases it's harder than hiring someone on full time.
- nathanb 11y agoSo what if I were, say, a US citizen living abroad? I am legally able to work in the US and in my home country, but of course since I'm not actually living in the US some companies might find that problematic. Do you?
- saspiesas 11y agoI mean, I could be a UK citizen working from a beach in Thailand but I'd still be a UK citizen...
- lgieron 11y ago> What's wrong with working from mainland Europe assuming one can work within UK hours? People from mainland Europe (EU) are legally able to work in UK.
- toddkazakov 11y agoThey are but it's rather difficult to get national insurance number and open a bank account if you don't live there (and have proof for it, of course).
