In what way are laws for employing someone in a state indefensible?
You don’t get to set up shop in a state with low taxes and minimum wage then pay your employees in another state using whichever state’s laws you prefer.
- notch656a 5y agoExcept in this case the 'shop' is in Illinois. A California resident commutes his bits to Illinois and somehow in all it's wisdom California wants to exercise itself outside of its jurisdiction into the shop in Illinois.
- gamblor956 5y agoNo, in this case the shop is in California, where the California resident is performing his work, which is then transmitted to the office in Illinois. CA gets to regulate the company with respect to its CA operations, i.e., that employee in CA. The CA regulations don't apply to any of the company's non-CA employees. This has always been the rule with respect to employees working in other jurisdictions.
