Comment on I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre

  Lol, you clearly have never done payroll. Payslips need to be generated timesheets entered and payments need to be authorized. Not all staff work full time or work on a fixed schedule, so set and forget a standing bank order is not viable. I would imagine that’s the case for most companies and businesses that employ hourly paid employees. Salried positions are generally in offices but even then they can vary.

    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 the law wouldn’t work like that because 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 don’t arguing immigration law we’re arguing about whether or not paying your employees via remote payment services constitutes working.

        Obviously it doesn’t
