I do this, in NZ, for a 15ish person company. I 'contract' but my contract says I get a monthly rate not hourly, and I get holidays, a couple other benefits. I pay taxes myself. My work sends me my 'salary' with transferwise every month.
That said I read about Pilot which lets you be an actual employee. They provide the tax presence that so many companies want to avoid. https://pilot.co/ https://pilot.co/
- RileyJames 5y agoI’m based in NZ too, how do you go with time zones? I’ve noticed many US companies hiring remote still specify employees to live within a range of time zones. And I haven’t seen those include NZ (+13, yes the edge of tomorrow) In practice, I’ve found collaborating with US colleagues fine. There’s a 3-4 hour overlap (our morning, their end of day).
- crummy 5y agoSorry for the late reply. I'm lucky to work for a company that runs after school coding classes, so the whole company is around US afternoon/evening hours. As a result I work a little earlier than most kiwis but not much, and really like the schedule now.
