    You’re still not paying them from a personal account so you’re not doing business. Business accounts are not tied to a person, they’re tied to the company so their example makes no sense.

    Also that’s not a correct interpretation of the law anyway, because obviously if the law worked like it would be fucking stupid.

      so your rationale for believing this person is wrong about a foreign country’s laws, with notoriously complex immigration law, is that “it would be stupid”

      i just feel like i need to point out how stupid these replies are, because if we have no sense of the truth, believing you over the other guy is just as stupid.

      stop arguing immigration law online, talk to a lawyer

        We are not arguing immigration law we’re arguing about whether or not paying your employees via remote payment services constitutes working.

        Obviously it doesn’t

        And actually no you’re incorrect that’s not how things work being sensible in online communications is a two-way street and this person isn’t being sensible they’ve put out an utterly ludicrous statement as a possible fact and everyone is calling them out for how utterly ridiculous that statement is. There’s no two siding this, they are wrong.

          If it wasn’t me, the owner who did it, but it was someone on the payroll, like a manager. If they were on holidays, and had to do it as it’s their responsibility, is it now considered work?

          Of course it’s work. It’s spending your time, doing a task for a business.
