Hi Peter, this is awesome. Thanks!
Say a US employer has about 1000 employees who are all residing in the US (so payroll is only set up to handle US taxes and so forth) because it was all commuters until the pandemic. Now there are many remote employees, and that won't change (i.e., no "return to office" unwinding of remote arrangements) so some are starting to move across the country. No problem.
When a remote employee says they're starting the process of moving to Canada and obtaining Canadian citizenship and prefers to keep their current job, how much effort goes into achieving that on the employer's side? Is it typical to convert their role from employee to contractor as a way to minimize the headache until there are many such employees?
- proberts 4y agoA very interesting question but outside my limited area of expertise.
- a13n 4y agoYou could also consider an EOR like remote.com or deel to hire them as employees abroad without needing to register your own business there and deal with benefits payroll taxes etc. There is risk in misclassifying employees as contractors in many countries.
