The specifier "more than 0" strikes me as odd. Both sentences would have been the same without it. > we've hired people through a global outsourcing company >

- lern_too_spel 4y agoThat they can pay people remotely ignoring employment laws in a way that can be tracked and prosecuted?
- anonymoushn 4y agoI'm not sure why there's some assumption that anything illegal is going on.
- lern_too_spel 4y agoYou stated that you are directly paying these employees without the facilitator who was previously paying the payroll taxes on your behalf.
- anonymoushn 4y agoYou should perhaps read the comment again? The comment mentions two disjoint sets of people who are presently paid in different ways. It does not mention any transition of any people between the sets.
- lern_too_spel 4y agoThe second set of people must also be paid according to the laws of the country they are currently residing in. By paying them without informing the country, you are skirting its laws and doing so in a way that is easily tracked.
- anonymoushn 4y agoI have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that I have discovered that it is in fact legal to pay contractors in these countries. The bad news is that I also recently paid a local moving company for a move and purchased some onigiri at a convenience store without personally verifying that these businesses and their employees pay their taxes. Feel free to report me to the kōban.
- lern_too_spel 4y agoIf you paid with real money that went into a real bank account, the government knows if they paid their taxes. If you paid them with crypto because they shadily asked you to, don't be surprised if you get caught up in an investigation. Your payments are easily tracked.

- n4bz0r 4y agoIt's quite unlikely to see such a liberal use of numbers from an English native speaker, but this is a somewhat popular way of describing similar situations in Russian (and probably some other languages). Using numbers in this fashion is a way of specifying the perfect condition while simultaneously letting the listener/reader know that the situation is either less or more than ideal. Plus, it adds a subtle comical effect. Puts some supererogatory emphasis on things, so to speak :) Combo x3!
