1. Business Registration Requirements
Employers must always evaluate whether hiring an employee in a given state means the employer is “conducting business” in that state. The answer to this query varies state-by-state but often depends on the employee’s role within the company and the services they are providing to the company or its clients. Companies that are deemed to be “conducting business” in a given state must register with the Secretary of State, or equivalent, often by obtaining a “Certificate of Authority to Transact Business.”
