Ask HN: How to handle Payroll for remote “employees” payroll outside the U.S.? - hichamin

I work as a remote employee for a us based startup out of India. I raise and
invoice every month corresponding to the salary account.

For all legal purposes, I'm a consultant to the company.

every time I've looked at remote (out of country) work, it was always as a
contractor/consultant. Never as a true employee. That way the company pays an
invoice, the contractor handles all their own taxes.

Treating your "foreign" remote workforce as employees I imagine will land you
in some tricky international waters much better suited for your accountant,
tax attorney, and your general business lawyer.

All of my remote contractors invoice me weekly. We just use a shared google
spreadsheet that track times on one tab and sums it on another by week.

I actually handle payments via xoom.com -- it is now owned by paypal. It takes
a little work to setup a new payee, but once you have paid a person once, you
can pay them again very easily.

If they are US citizens then whichever way you would pay the non-remote
probably. If they aren't, then they will tell you which is best for their
situation/country according to what's available there and the lowest fees.
