I’m not an expert but my understanding is that the answer is “No.” For a company to employ someone legally in a country on a salary basis, the company and employee need to follow local tax and employment law. As you can imagine, these vary significantly from country to country. The only way around this to my knowledge is if the company sets up a legal operation in the country or hires via a third party “professional employment organization” (PEO). The company contracts with the PEO and the PEO hires the individual. The primary function of the PEO is to follows all of the local tax and employment laws. From my experience, PEOs increase employment cost by ~50% or more.
