The COVID-19 pandemic changed the nature of work. Many office jobs became remote. Even after the pandemic, many jobs have not been restored to fully in-person roles. Instead, employers are opting for full-time remote or hybrid work models. A hybrid model involves a mix of in-office and remote work.
These new models present many challenges for employers. Multi-state compliance for remote or hybrid workers challenges employers to understand their obligations in multiple states regardless of where their headquarters are located. Employers who unknowingly violate compliance requirements in new jurisdictions due to remote-worker relocations face risks related to tax, wage and hour, and more.
Join us and get insights and actionable strategies for key compliance considerations in remote/hybrid work arrangements, such as:
- Multi-state tax implications of the increasingly remote/mobile workforce
- What is a “remote” employee, and how state and local laws may apply
- Payroll tax implications and when and how to initiate new state withholding tax payments
- Business income tax obligations that remote employees may create
- Regulatory risks and how states become aware of remote employees
- Best practices for employers new to remote/hybrid work
The webinar will take place on May 2, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. Pacific Time.
