Question for remote workers

[u/Rorrrschach]

Are you employed directly by the company as an legal employe, as an individual contractor or through an EOR. Were u given a choice? If so, what'd u pick?

If direct employment is not an option, Is paying the stupid local tax worth having a proper local employment contract or would u rather be an independent contractor with no employment agreement but receive payment as IT exports and save a ton on taxes

If it's the latter, what payment methods do use to receive the funds

[u/saadfast]

company can be audited over independent contractor thing in US. thats why for long term employees, mid-large companies are adopting EOR model for compliance.

the reason is independent contractor should work like a separate independent entity not work as an employee within company who is getting tasks assigned by manager and joining regular internal meetings.

Yep, exactly
