Are remote contractors easier due to how things get billed out? I am assuming that puts the accounting burden on the contractor instead of the employer.


That’s correct, however, it is a one-stop shop instead of becoming a local employer. It can be tricky though because contractors without their own legal entity can be qualified as employees in many countries, especially if they have only one client or only a few clients.

Yep, exactly. In the US, contractors are responsible for their own health insurance, taxes, vacation balance, etc.
