There’s a company that’s offering parents help with autistic children. Having a way to get help for their autistic children in such a setting is worth a great deal to these parents. In this vein, just having access to a doctor in the office is a benefit, as are onsite medical centers or telemedicine services that let employees consult long-distance with doctors and nurses. Or a free consultation with a geriatric care manager, plus help with coordinating services, support for respite care and flexible time off?

Telecommuting is a work arrangement that enables employees to perform their job duties at an approved alternative work site — typically, from home. Related to this is “reasonable accommodation,” which Telework.gov defines as any modification in the work environment “to help a person with a disability apply for a job, perform the duties of a job or enjoy the benefits and privileges of employment.

Both state unemployment and withholding taxes should generally be paid to the employee’s work state, but there are exceptions; the twist is that state laws are quite literally all over the map. Some states that border each other have entered into agreements related to allowing employees who live in one state but work in another, to have their withholding tax paid to the work state. For example, an employee who lives in Maryland but commutes to northern Virginia or D. C. for a job can have withholding tax paid to Maryland rather than the work state. When an employee is working in multiple states or working remotely for a company based in another state, you withhold state unemployment tax only in the state in which the employee is working.
