Yeah, Keats. You are 100% right. Remote covered this briefly, I think in the "Beware the dragons" chapter.
I don't understand the legal side of the situation completely, but if you have enough people working out of a given international city, it could create a Nexus and require you to set up an office, etc.
Remote's advice here is to hire international workers as contractors, but to treat them like full-time employees. Not ideal.
Hopefully, this will get easier as time goes on.
- eterm 13y ago"hire ... as contractors, but to treat them like full-time employees" In UK employment law at least this isn't legal, or rather the law simply treats them as employees.
- rg81 13y agoI think they were referring to the liabilities from the perspective or running a company. Not, how it affects the individual employee/contractor.
- tnorthcutt 13y agoSame thing in the US. There are major tax implications.
- Spooky23 13y agoIf you hire contractors, treat them like contractors.
