If you read the blog post, you can see that I fully knew and complied with the employment laws. (I used Gusto, as it happens). The blog post has nothing to do with employment laws.
The blog post is about income taxes, the franchise fee, Sec of State filings and absurd amounts of paperwork.
- jeremysalwen 4y agoUnfortunately it doesn't matter what you want to call the law. If there is a law that requires you to do something when employing California residents, that is de facto an employment law, and the point still stands.
- Dangeranger 4y agoThe crux of your argument was that a state should not have their laws imposed on you due to the state’s definition of a “business nexus”. I didn’t read the comment above as accusing you of not following the laws, but of being caught off-guard by your business falling under the jurisdiction of the state, and disagreeing with that. You said in the blog post that you were surprised by this, and that implies that you “did not know the employment laws” prior to hiring a person residing within that state. In other words, you assumed that only laws within the state where your business was registered would apply, which was incorrect.
