Q: How can I keep my job? Have 2 residences, become a contractor, use a local address at work?
Hello I currently live in a Florida and am looking to relocate to Nevada. I work for a university but am 100% remote. The Hr department sent back the response below regarding my request to relocate. ?Not registered to operate in the state of NV. Additionally, there are specific licenses that we need to acquire to operate legally in Nevada and we do not have those licenses. Furthermore, our payroll system is not set up to collect state taxes for NV. Moreover, we are not registered with the NV Dept of Business and Industry for Workers Comp ins. Do I have any options to keep My job?
A: If you move to Nevada you will have to follow Nevada laws, including occupational licensing, and your employer will have to be compliant with Nevada laws including those pertaining to payroll taxes. Using a Florida license, or the other ideas you asked about would probably be regarded as subterfuges which could well get you and your present employer in legal trouble.
