Coming from a fairly small EU country, one way I've alleviated the issue before is the equivalent of an LLC. The company makes a long term contract to buy services from me through my company, I pay myself through that legal entity and handle the taxes on the local level. It means the legal interaction is slightly different, as are the benefits and downsides, but it's a good option when it fits both sides. I'm not sure how it compares to the situation you've outlined above, and hopefully I won't have to ever find out, but offering my two cents.

That's definitely one way of solving it. The con is that (as an employer), you'll have to require each individual employee to incorporate their own LLC and contract out their services that way. For obvious reasons, I can see more than a few employees giving this a pass.
