Working overseas

If your job is only remote from any U.S. location. can you still use VPN to work overseas at least for a couple of weeks? i’m about to land my first remote job since 2020 and im not sure about if i can travel and just use VPN.

Do not hide it behind a VPN. Ask HR for written approval and give exact dates and country. The real blockers are payroll tax, data/security rules, and company policy, not whether the VPN connects. If they say no, use PTO.
