How would this apply to people like IT guys that work from home for a company based elsewhere?

I was under the impression that companies with remote workers have a business “presence” in the state of residence of the worker, and are therefore subject to state law for that worker.
Can someone confirm/deny?
When you are on payroll in Colorado, you will have taxes withheld for CO, and will be subject to labor laws there.Quote:

Once I moved to Texas, I filed with the company that my new base of remote operations was TX, and the CO withholding stopped.
What if there are no offices in Colorado?
How does being a 1099 change that?
Always best to speak with your accountant, when it comes to tax questions. .Quote:

I'm not an accountant- I won't be responsible if you make any life decisions based on this...
I'm not asking for advice here, or for me. I was just curious.
It's a "fee" not a tax. No tax evasion then.
That wasn't directed at you specifically, just a catch-all to those reading it. I don't want Hell's accountants coming after me on their fuel-efficient scooters.Quote:

Current federal law mandates you can keep your job if you need to take time off from work to care for yourself or a loved one if they are sick or just gave birth. It does not, however, mandate you should be paid.
Obviously the wording of the actual bill could be different, but it seems to apply to FMLA or sick leave as well.Quote:
When a family member is sick or a new baby is born, employees could then request benefits from the state.
