[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fully remote is a huge PiTA for companies as far as taxes, workers comp, unemployment insurance and state/local pay/benefits regulation.  If everyone is in 3 days/wk, they are majority employed in the company’s home state so they don’t need to worry about other jurisdictions.

Also DC council put a huge tax on parking subsidies which is why you all lost your parking (unless you are fed or your employer owns the garage).  [/quote]

Why is that my problem? Plenty of software out there that will manage all of the taxes lol[/quote]

LOL absolutely true. Any mid size company with any presence outside of one state handles the minutiae of payroll and state taxes easily. The previous poster is out of tune with the real issues [/quote]

Nope.  I’m a lawyer that does HR work.  It’s not just the state taxes (which is NbD if your company uses an outside vendor like ADP but a PITA if they do it in-house) but also the WC and UI and complying with each state’s arcane rules about sick leave accrual, paid family leave, vacation, terminal pay, etc.  especially if people are working from places like California which has a lot of rules.  If it’s a big National company or a company set up as fully remote, they can handle it but most companies that are currently based in just one or two states don’t want to have to figure out compliance for every possible jurisdiction.  And with lawyers it’s an additional burden with bar requirements, out of state practice, etc.   depending on inustries some companies may also be required to register to do business in those states where employees have a home office.

Spouses company allowed full remote but just restricted the states where you were allowed to work.  If one is really worried about that issue it's an easy fix.[/quote]
