I agree it is a mess, both domestically and internationally We do this and are hiring remote largely fine in the US: - book keeper shared w multiple startups - who handles most states + outside person for rest - we also use Gusto here, though they did screw up one key state and never took responsibility, so we will be leaving them We will be switching to an intl'l friendly PEO so we can do intl better, if folks have recs Anyways if you have enough $ to hire people, I strongly recommend paying a bit: they can do it way faster and properly, including maintenance, so you gain time and $ vs you doing it slowly and at opportunity cost. Problem still exists, but a small but of $ per new hire makes it go away. I do occasionally worry about rogue states / districts who increase our legal risk, like parts of Texas...
