I employed a California resident, so now I’m subject to its regulations
This should probably be expanded to something more like, &quot;don&#x27;t hire remote employees living in a jurisdiction whose employment laws you don&#x27;t know.&quot;<p>Because it&#x27;s not just California that can surprise you with things like this. Colorado could zing you if you hire someone who works there but didn&#x27;t list the compensation range on the job listing. Quebec can zing you if you hire a Quebec resident and aren&#x27;t prepared to allow them to work in French, even if they don&#x27;t speak French themself.
