Can you legally hire someone as an employee offering below minimum wage in another country and use that to fulfill us based contracts ?

  i'd say yes? cos designer in [non-US country] is not beholden to US-based labor laws, nor is the entity that hired that person.

    If the sub entity is us based would it not have to respect us laws ? I wonder if it is because they are remote and not physically in the United States. Even still I wonder if companies need to be audited on this.

      Companies have no legal requirement to hire local/national talent. And if a company can save a buck, you know full well they're gonna do just that.

        Right, but for in person work there are constraints like visa, minimum wage, and then paying into social security. I wonder if there is no option like that if the person is remote. Seems like a loophole if so.

      Labour laws of the place where labour takes place are usually applicable.
