dcj, FWIW, I pay taxes based on the state I live in, not the state my employer is in. IANAL, but it seems to me that other teleworker wage questions should be resolved similarly. Like, surely they can't pay you based on one state's laws and tax you based on another state's laws. Especially if they hired you as a teleworker living in the state you reside in now (as opposed to you having moved after you were hired).
Slap my hand now!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

We had so many leftovers from our family dinner the other night that we have assembled two baked zitis with zucchini for the freezer that are just big enough for the two of us. We also froze several portions of chicken and individual slices of the rest of the blueberry coffee cake that we had for dessert.
I don't know about contract work but when I was living in RI and working in MA, I had to file in both states.

Were you commuting to MA? My co-worker who works in our NJ office three days a week and lives in NY is in the same situation. She'd be better off to go full-time telecommuting but she says she needs the time away from her family!
We're salaried, though. I don't know how different it would be for hourly. Keeping track of hours worked off-site must be a nightmare, for both employer and employee.

Yes, I was commuting. I worked in retail at the time and minimum wage was higher in MA and the commute was the same length.

Yeah, often neighboring states have things set up, like in the DC area where many people live in one and commute to another. But full time work in another state, they usually just pay/tax you under where you live (like both my current and previous company were in North Carolina but I don't file there)

We're fine, but I couldn't feel ltc moving about. So we're at the hospital. Her heart rate is good and she's moving about just fine. I'm just not feeling it.

She's looking for the exit.

That's what I was hoping but no. She was just being stubborn. I'm still being monitored but everything looks fine.

Whew. Glad everything's okay, sj.

I was worried her fluid level could be getting low, which it's not. So I'm glad I came in anyway.
