Employment and compliance

Where people work changes what the law expects of you.

One remote hire in a new state creates obligations there. What they are, and why the surprise usually arrives at year end.

The label on the contract does not decide it. What the tests actually look at, and what getting it wrong costs.

In some jurisdictions reimbursing home working costs is an obligation rather than a benefit. Where the line falls.

Remote work erodes the boundary between working and not. In several jurisdictions that boundary is a legal one.

Employing people across jurisdictions changes where data is processed, and that changes your obligations.

The duty of care generally does not stop at the office door. What that means in practice for a home worker.

Remote work removes some barriers and creates others. Both need attention, and the second is usually ignored.

Remote work changes both how burnout develops and how long it stays invisible. What managers can actually watch for.

Departures handled remotely go wrong in specific ways: knowledge vanishes, access persists, and the ending is abrupt.
