You should try running a startup that hires remote workers. We already have to deal with this when it comes to taxation, filings fees, nexus laws, and health insurance. It makes it extremely difficult to run a "remote only" organization without utilizing a PEO.
- thestepafter 8y agoWhat is a PEO and have you had this problem with remote workers in other countries?
- meritt 8y agoI didn't want to come across as advertising any particular entity but they are organizations [1] that are registered in every state, provide benefits, retirement plans, payroll, etc. They technically hire your employees for you, and then contract them to you while taking a fee on top. It's a good way for remote-only companies to expand within the states, or simply companies that don't want to deal with HR/Payroll/etc. All of our non-US hires have been as contractors entirely to avoid potential complexities. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_employer_organization https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professional_employer_organiza...
