Cross-Border Catch Up: Remote Work in Puerto Rico

Ogletree Deakins Podcasts

In this episode of our Cross-Border Catch-Up podcast series, Skye Hao (associate, Atlanta) sits down with Carlos Colón-Machargo (of counsel, Atlanta) to discuss Puerto Rico’s relaxed requirements for remote work. Carlos and Skye cover recent changes in the country’s employment laws and their effect on employer obligations, including tax withholdings and other fiscal obligations, social security and payroll contribution filings, workers’ compensation, unemployment benefits, and short-term disability considerations, as well as the distinction in compliance requirements for domiciled versus non-domiciled workers.
