In the article, Richard advises employers to pay very close attention to compliance:
“Compliance is the most important aspect of international hiring. There are two categories within this: hiring non-citizens living abroad and hiring US citizens living abroad. For example, if you’re an oil company and you hire American residents living in Norway to work in oil fields, you’ll have to comply with both US employment laws and local Norwegian laws. However, for the latter case, you’ll have to comply with the local and employment laws of the jurisdiction where the employee works.”
