How Can My US Employer Legally Pay Me as a Remote Worker in the Philippines?

Subject: Legal Payment Options for Remote Work from the Philippines

Hi everyone,

I’m a Filipino international student in the US, and my visa is set to expire soon. I’ll be heading back to the Philippines next year, but my current employer in the US is interested in continuing my employment on a remote basis. However, they’re not keen on establishing a legal entity in the Philippines or utilizing a third-party payroll service; they’re looking for a straightforward and compliant method to pay me directly.

I’m hoping to find the best way to facilitate this arrangement with minimal hassle for my employer. Here are some questions I have:

  • What’s the simplest way for my employer to legally compensate me from the US?
  • What tax responsibilities will I have in the Philippines? Should I register as self-employed or start a sole proprietorship?
  • Will my employer have any tax or reporting obligations in the US if they pay me directly?
  • What’s the most effective way to navigate this situation?

If anyone has experience working for a US company while residing in the Philippines, I would love to hear about how you managed it. Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Exploring Lead Sourcing Opportunities

Hi everyone, I’m considering joining a software company that focuses on lead sourcing for recruiters. They specialize in automating live job roles and outreach, and even offer AI-driven emailing as an option.

Having previously worked in recruitment, I have a solid understanding of the industry, though it’s been a few years since I was actively involved. I’m curious to hear your thoughts on the value of products like this—I’m aware that there are similar tools out there, such as Apollo. I’m torn about taking the leap, as it feels like a bit of a risk, but I believe their product is quite strong and they have unique features that set them apart from the competition.

I would greatly appreciate any insights you have!
