The story of worker misclassification almost always begins the same way: a first sales hire in Brazil, a fantastic programmer in Poland, a QC overseer of the third-party manufacturer in China. 

Imagine this: Your company has decided that this year’s business strategy will involve at least one international venture. This means you and your HR team will be responsible for facilitating the perfect hire once the decision has been made. 

You begin to research what you will need to set up payroll for your international hire. After perusing countless websites with conflicting information, you begin to panic. You wonder how you will make this hire when you don’t have an entity registered in‐country.
