Very cool to see another GitLab spin off. Also great to see it's another OSS

We're making it possible for anyone to hire anywhere, which is incredibly complex! Our company handbook is public, which will tell you more than anything else I can share here: remote.com/handbook

The employee would be employed by the EoR on paper. Hence employer _of record_. But otherwise acts as a normal employee of the actual employer.

> And how is the situation when the employees come in from time to time (commuting across borders) but work the majority of their time in another country?

This is a gross simplification, but: You must comply with where you spend the majority of your time. Spending a few days/weeks outside of your homebase is normal (see: all business travel) and doesn't make you immediately liable.

That said, this gets really complex and murky when you think about e.g. nomads or people that really split their time between countries.

Generally: no.

There are cases and/or ways where you can e.g. hire someone under a local contract without owning a local entity, but that doesn't scale much beyond that, and you'd still need to run local payroll somehow, and be locally compliant.

The one big thing the EU solves is mobility: any EU citizen can work freely from anywhere else in the EU. That's a massive hurdle to cross otherwise.

Beyond that, even between EU countries there are absolutely massive differences in labor laws, standards, etc.

If you hire someone in another country, you (employer) must fully comply with local labor laws, tax requirements, run payroll and pay any local dues in local currency.

This is only solved by either setting up a local office and hire local experts yourself, or working with an employer of record.

Can you email me with the needs? I'm sure we can work something out. I don't think the tax accountant is able to be a local liable employer, like we are.

We tend to be the most affordable employer of record with quite some margin.

Paying contractors is free through us.

FWIW we [0] employ a lot of people in the EU working remotely and a large part of them earns SF/NY salaries.

Probably a strong selection bias to the types of companies that choose to work with us.

If your project is open source on gitlab.com - you get all paid features for free.

Fair question, and I think yes! If you mainly do your meetings remotely (which I do), you want your interactions to be as high-bandwidth as possible.

There is value, and data, in real world interactions that is lost quickly in video calls. The lower latency, the higher the resolution and quality of the audio, the more you approximate a 'real' meeting.

This is way beyond baseline requirements for e.g. remote work, but it's _nice_, just as a slightly bigger screen is _nice_.

It makes no sense. I use a $100 Logitech Webcam and _regularly_ get comments about how sharp and clear the video is, using Zoom.

There's value in a better camera, even in laptops.
