Accepting remote workers is not an easy one. I worked remotely before and I remember it was a challenge for the company as in the UK there was no legislation of a remote worker outside the UK. Full time has to be on payroll with national insurance, pension and other factors. So the only way is to consider the work as contracting instead of a permanent job.
This was several years ago though, not sure if that has changed now.

I think it's mostly a lack of education from payroll departments. (I've been remote for well over a decade, btw)
