I am looking for a job in california, telecommuting from Washington. If I get one, do I have to register as a sex offender in california, or only in washington?
It’s very unfortunate that we live in a world full of assumptions. Nevertheless, because I actually want a helpful answers, I will explain a bit, which might stop the onslaught of comments against me.
When I was 13, I hosted a mIRC File Server (something like "bearshare" or "limewire" of sorts) basically, it allowed people to upload and download stuff, using my computer as a "hub" – This was unmoderated by me, but was my property, and thus I suffered the consequences when someone uploaded child pornography on it. I am 24 now, am married and have a son of my own.

Now please, stop commenting if you have nothing helpful to say.

Is a US company allowed to employ a foreigner telecommuting from abroad? E.g. a Frenchman living in Ecuador? Without a greencard/visa/work permit, since he does not live in the US?

If no: Which is the law which interdicts it?

If yes: Under which circumstances? Does he have to open his own company?

How about taxes and customs duty? I think he does not have to pay US taxes if he spends less than 122 days per year in the US (see Wikipedia on "tax exile"). How can the US company handle this?

Which employment laws do apply? I have found this: http://www.gentrylocke.com/showarticle.aspx?Show=242
Hi virus, thank you for the answer. So if it is a multinational company with a branch in the foreign country, it is of course no problem. The branch adheres to local laws and pays local taxes. What if there is no local branch?

Do I need to change any verbs? If so which ones? Add or delete any words. Thanks in advance!

Because of the increasing popularity of telecommuting, it is necessary for us to be more careful in our plans for information security and for our employees’ health and personal safety. We wish it was possible to talk to each employee individually, but that is impossible. Instead, we have prepared a "Telecommuter Employees Guide" which includes structured agreements that specify space, equipment, scheduling, communications, and conditions of employment. The complete guide should be given to whoever is about to begin a telecommuting assignment. We appreciate you discussing the following recommendations with any of your staff members whom are considering telecommuting.

Arranging the Home Workspace

• Create a space where you can expect minimal traffic and distraction.
• Make it comfortable but with sufficient space for computer, printer, and fax.
• Make your workspace off-limits to family and friends.
• Provide proper lighting and telephone service.

Ensuring Information Security

• Remember that you’re home office is an extension of the company office.
• Be careful to protect information and avoid computer viruses.
• Be sure to backup and store data and other information in a safe place.

We do not recommend at-home meetings for telecommuters. By the same token, we suggest using postal boxes rather then home addresses. We also require smoke detectors in home work areas.

To have any questions answered, my assistant or I can be reached at Ext. 310.

I recently got a 30 day free trial of MagicJack service & 2 MJ devices (but I’ll probably order more!)

I’m trying to lower the costs of land-line & cell phone service but still keep it for basic service & emergencies.

I’m in the process of applying for "telecommuting" call-center jobs, but as their systems don’t work with cell phones or VoIP, (which MagicJack technically is) & as MJ is not compatible with alarm systems, satellite etc.,& MJ recommends an emergency backup for 911, I’ll still need to keep the land-line phone.

But all the landline plans are minimum – monthly, as they all include features like call waiting, caller ID, etc. which the jobs I need it for, don’t even allow.

As I’ll be using MJ for all non-work calls, I just need the CHEAPEST basic service with a flat rate unlimited local & long-distance calls (for work). No frills or fancies.

I’m in metro-Detroit. Anyone know the CHEAPEST land-line plans for or under – just for work & emergencies??

I have been a stay at home mom since my baby was born (he is now 16 months old). I have a chance to return back to work, 10-20 hours a week telecommuting from home and ocassional meetings where I have to go to the office. Living on just my husband’s income is tight but do-able as long as we budget. My question is this: should I continue to be stay at home mom til my son is in preschool or should I work part time? My concern with my working part time at my old office is that I may easily get sucked into working after hours (I am a litigator and it’s difficult to turn your back if you are on the case and a rush comes in). I’d especially like to hear from moms who have tried both part time jobs and stay at home and their insight re what they liked better. Does returning to work part time impede or improve quality of time with your child and what other impact, if any, has it had on your, your husband’s and your child’s life? Thanks in advance!

I was working for a company that employs people from home to do customer service, telecommuting. When I finished with one of my calls, i placed the system’s answering service on Personal time so that no more calls would come in and I could go and check out what was going on during that moment. I began to curse but did not know that the system did not release the last call although the customer was not on the phone, but randomly, there are times when certain team managers listen to the employee’s calls to monitor them. It just so happens that on that particular call I was being monitored, but I thought the system released the call, which essentially is the system’s malfunction because it is supposed to release after each call. Later on, they notified my team manager, she emailed me about what happened and i replied by apologizing and explaining the situation. Then she sent instant messages to everyone letting them know that when you are on Personal Time, to ensure that the call has released and place the phone on mute because it might still be recording. She later on that day also emailed me later on that day a statement that she had copied and pasted to me via email stating where they have written under the following heading:[B][U]Egregious Call Berhavior."Swearing or obscenities before, during, or after call: Immediate Termination." and later on that day I got a call from HR that they were going to release me because of the incident.

I was not introduced to this notice/policy until after the fact, and later on when i fully read it, it is a bit confusing and vague

The information i am trying to get is if I have a case that I can take to a lawyer to get my job back and of course get my lost wages, because other than that, I was excellent. They use a scoring system in which you must maintain a 97% or above and I always achieved 100%.

Was I terminated unjustifiably? Especially since this was brought to my attention after the fact and the system did not release the call as it is supposed to, or do they have the jurisdiction over me regardless of the facts, especially since no obvious harm was done to any clients nor was it a confrontation with any other employee?

Thanks.

So I’ve been searching, for what feels like forever and a day lol, And I yet to find a legit site! What I don’t want is: Transcription, Surveys Sites, Telecommuting, or call centers. Are there any other work at home opportunities that pay very well, where you don’t have to pay for anything, no start up kits, no nothing?

So I’ve been hired by a software start up in Ireland, however while I will start out in Ireland, I will be spending the majority of my working time telecommuting from NYC or around the country.

The accounting department told me it might be easiest for me to set up as a contract worker and send them invoices every month. This route leads me to believe they want me to set up as an independent contractor/consultant/self-filer. In this manner I believe it’s a 15% tax rate with deductible expenses and quarterly payments to the IRS.

But what I’m wondering is if there’s any other options available for me and my employer? I’m mostly uncertain on one thing, can my company be liable at all for paying U.S. taxes and social security/medicare?

I just landed a great new job with a growing corporation. This is a big career move for me and I’m pretty excited. Unfortunately, my s.o. is disabled and needs to be cared for during the day for at least three hours a day. It is killing me to be away at work for so long knowing that he is home alone and needs help. I could completely do my job from my house, even if it was for 12 hours a week. I may have bitten off more than I can chew, but options are limited financially. My boss and I have already arranged for me to have Fridays off and work 4 10’s mon-thurs. But now I feel like I am missing a lot that takes place during the week since I only work 4 days. Would it be out of line for me to talk to my boss about the possibility of telecommuting? I’ve only been there for 3 weeks, but things are going great so far.

I have a tendency to work better alone than with others and i want to explore a new computer oriented career. are there jobs that would allow me to make a decent yearly salary telecommuting or working from home on a pc. i dont mean taking online surveys! i mean working for a legitimate company with a salary and benefits working in my home pc. the reason i ask is because i am a good worker and very talented and intelligent but have a hard time in the workplace and tend to get stressed out unless i am just left alone to work with myself. i would love to work on a computer doing web design graphic design but am not closed off to other ideas. i would further my education to do this (only have 2 year music degree), and i am a pretty fast typist ( forgive spelling here) but this is also cause i want to start building another business on my owm slowly and need solid income.but being sort of gorophobic is this an even a remote possibility. thanks for all the input it is very much appreciated

I’ve been working for this company for 2 years now and love working for my female boss. I get along with her great. Should I wish her a happy new year? I’m afraid to say it because I don’t want to sound unprofessional. I work via telecommuting so it has to be via email if I do this.

And please don’t say that not all jobs can be telecommuted .. we all know that! But more jobs can be than are today.

It looks to me that supporting telecommuting is a Real way of supporting stay at home moms and dads.

I mean for real it would be more free choice for both men and women. And career and family would not be so much an either/or thing.

I think this is much better than the corporate hell rat race that so many people have to live in and be stressed out by.

And much better than some lame trying to turn back the clock to the bad old days and pretend that economic reality and woman’s choices are not real and important.

Hey this is the 21st century and we have the Net.

And Yes I do know that most corporations and governments are not high on doing this even if they say they are. That is something we can try to change. Workers who are more happy are better workers. It I was in business I would want that.

So how can we help make this happen more?
thanx Rio :) Actually I think the biggest issue is attitude..

A U.S. employer has hired someone who lives and will work in England. The company has no operations in England; they just really wanted this person to work with them, and the person happens to live in and be a citizen of England, and the company can allow him to work in England – that’s some telecommuting! How should they go about paying him and how are taxes handled from the company’s perspective? Since they don’t have operations in England, they are wondering if they can just pay him with 1099’s and let him deal with his taxes in England. Any ideas?
