My firm won't even allow remote work outside of the state. The reasoning is that you might have to be called to the office on short notice.

- jen20 4y ago> you might have to be called to the office This sounds more like a flexible work from home arrangement than a remote job. Besides, I don't know what state you're in but in Texas or California merely being in the same state does not imply "near enough to be called in at short notice"!
- forinti 4y agoI'm not in the US and you can easily be 8h-10h away in my state too. The funny thing is that you could be in a neighbouring state or even country and be closer to the office than some cities.
- jen20 4y agoYeah, being "close to the office" is not the reason for that, regardless of what might be publicised.
- tssva 4y agoThe reason sounds rather lame. Better reasons to limit remote work to a single state include the need to comply with another set of tax and employment laws, health insurance policy may be based upon all employees residing in a particular state and not wanting to establish a physical nexus in another state.
