Registers accounts and rules for employees working in new states. The work is too small to justify a hire and too important to leave to chance. It works in healthcare, so patient data is never part of the task and privacy rules are strict. The work is fully remote. Any location in United States works, with a few hours of overlap with the team's day. You choose your hours; nothing is scheduled except an occasional short call. About 2 hours a week should overlap with the team's day (CT). ## What you deliver - Set up payroll tax accounts and withholding for remote employees in six new states. - A 20-minute walkthrough call, or a recorded screen share if you prefer - One round of edits after the company's review is included - A final note stating what was checked and what was left out of scope ## How the work runs - Day 1: scope confirmed in writing, files shared - Middle of the period: draft shared for early feedback - Last day: final version and handover note **Duration:** 2 to 3 weeks.
