Small companies really can’t fix this. It means having the capability to legally comply with whatever US and foreign laws govern the hiring of a worker from that country. If you’re a tiny startup, there’s little incentive to take time to incorporate in a foreign country on the chance this potential hire is a superstar. So you work out some kind of contracting arrangement instead.
- hogrider 5y agoUsually this gets done "under the table". I don't think there's anythibg really preventing it stateside since labir protections are flimsy and are there only for citizens /residents.
- salmonlogs 5y agoThere are a bunch of companies out there that provide this as a service - remote employment. They setup a company in each local country and handle all the tax and legal implications.
- namelosw 5y agoSorry if I didn't make myself clear. I was saying maybe there could be startups tackling this issue, and offering their solutions as services, making the process as easy and smooth as possible. There should be quite some companies are willing to pay for this kind of service, because remote working is booming, and the compensation varies a lot in different parts of the world.
