The 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.
