Does anyone know if there are certain obstacles (either legal or administrative) to being on a payroll with a U.S. company where wages are reported on W-2 (not working on an individual contract basis or self employment). This is assuming one has a resident visa.
I.E. Can a U.S. company employ someone living in Spain and pay them wages that are reported as earned income on form 1040? If so, does the company have to make special deductions and payment to Spain or is that the employee's responsibility to report?
For example: I want to work for a University, College, or private school in the U.S. as an employee (where I can enroll in a retirement/pension plan) not an independent contractor. Is this possible?
If someone is currently employed in this manner any information on this process would be helpful.
Thank you in advance.
