Payroll Person

What they said above! If not done at pickup, don’t count on it ever getting done. Maybe gets done if noted to and agreed in writing, but it will definitely not be at your convenience (in my experience). In my case, we noted everything, and were satisfied to get the needed parts, since I was going to do the work anyway.

Pick up and first trip on same day? Not ideal, but with patience, proper tools, and tempered expectations, fun can be had. Many will suggest first trip be in your driveway or similar.

Depends on the time of year the frame sat outside, and the weather. The “excuse” may be a viable explanation. I used a product which you can spray or brush on with no prep. For the areas I could reach, I wire brushed the rust off first. ideally, the frame or e450 chassis would be prepped well enough to handle one winter, but snow sitting on them, especially if they arrived in winter and were subject to salt spray, can cause rust. I doubt they get cleaned or even monitored on arrival. not making excuses, just pointing out reality.

Maybe convert to items you can safety wire?

The brake area may get hot enough to make lower temp lock solution moot. If you do run into issues breaking it loose, try heating the tool. It is what I do to take off Jeep hoods and the like, and is much cleaner than trying to heat the bolt directly. Use a long socket/allen/torx and heat it while resting on/in the bolt.

Some institutionalized in the 60’s were experimented on. Mistakes were made. Yet I am saddened our state facilities are gone, having been converted to essentially prisons. Government is just another business, with a bottom line. Not likely to change until a majority of those who vote stop thinking of only their own wallet. Of course, this will not happen in my lifetime any more than people will stop shirking jury duty.

The biggest change over pc years? Those that used them 20-30 years ago were experts. Now, a computer is an appliance and few are experts (and those claiming to be an expert are usually not as real experts don’t need to say it) . Example, ask someone what a file folder is, or how to delete a file and see the funny looks you get. OS had to change or die. As a programmer I used to spend 90% time creating, 10% preventing user errors. Not is is maybe 5% creating and 95% pondering and preventing strange things users will do and blame me for (because current society is the computer should not allow any mistakes to be made, so any mistakes could never be the fingers in control). The best and only reliable Malware prevention is the grey matter controlling the fingers. The good is MS finally realized this too and kept backwards compatibility. W11 can run dos programs, 3.1 programs, etc. the compatibility issues are caused by programmers who used undocumented API calls in earlier versions of windows. For non pro and non gamer uses, the hardware is well past anything one needs so an off the shelf sub 500 box does very well. Personally, I use the surface pro as I need the semi ruggedness and security functions. one other thought, Windows long ago did away with the stand alone version. All versions have network and multi user ability, which for a time, caused issues. There is certainly more overhead this causes, but the issues have been resolved.

How many is your large? Using for at least a decade. 10 different accounts, prob 70+ folders. No issues, with plenty of settings do do what I want. I have to watch updates because my major add on can be slow to update (stores stock responses). While I keep messages local as well, there are more than 5000 in imap storage for my main account. No real speed issues.

I’d start with self research. Try to know the answers before you go to the planning or building department. The person helping you may not answer correctly every time. Or look for a former planner/building department person who now represents developers (there is usually at least one in every jurisdiction).

Avoids tolls taking 99/12… 12 has plenty of direct west, so be prepared if late afternoon. Leaving rio vista is the sketchiest, narrow, no shoulders. Just be prepared for bridge delays.

The waitlisted areas, dark green, are more likely to have lower speeds when roaming.

Hwy 12 can have traffic and bridge delays, esp weekends. Trade off is avoiding altamont or other alternatives.

Besides the items I already mentioned, causing nexus may subject the employer to sales tax in the new state, even if they do not meet the sales limits from the Wayfair ruling. Employers who are not already aware of the risks of remote working (usually by lack of knowledge) will likely be altering their policies shortly. States are never going to agree on a common set of remote work nexus triggers. Not being honest with the place you depend on for income is not a great way to live. You are putting yourself and your employer at risk of financial harm.

Rules change, enforcement level changes. Knowledge increases. I hear it many times every day “we have done x for YEARS”. For the OP, not only get an understanding of your employer practices, correct or not, also get an written opinion covered by E&O insurance from someone you pay for their opinion (and copy of their insurance coverage). Governments are looking for newer ways to increase their income, so once a regulation becomes profit appearing, they will enforce. I once sent sample data to a NY tax agency for form printing approval. They tried dunning me for several years with the claim I was a NY employer. Easy for them to send letters and assign fines, and costly in time and money for me to defend. States are arguing over nexus right now, because of the mass number of people suddenly working from home. Simple google searches with the proper terms can be enlightening, as likely shown by Blues.

A payroll expert is the best source of advice. One who has experience with multi state issues. Even better, with remote worker experience. I say this as many will be using the only in my domicile state until caught method, and getting caught is rare unless certain aggressive states are involved.

There are usually carve outs, exceptions. It is just a situation of having each state having their own rules, and whether or not there is a federal rule which creates the exception. Truckers have many exceptions when federally regulated, but states can still get in the way. Overall length is one, such as how CA has a special length rule for race car rigs, such as going to Fontana or Sears Point. As much as payroll people want common rules, it will never happen as each state tries to make a living. If anything, states are looking at NY and CA to see how than get more income subject to their taxes.

Carrier Hornet in Alameda CA c2008. It was a day when there were veterans who served aboard giving tours. We were looking into a particular plane and a gent who flew that plane off that deck talked to us.

Only comes “up” is caught or if the employee gets hurt or needs other benefits. It is safe to assume many just don’t know the ramifications. With the pandemic, this issue has come to the front, and employer’s are realizing they need to protect themselves.

The location where the work is performed is the nexus for payroll taxation. Residency or domicile does not affect payroll taxation.

Monitoring can be done. It is the dealing with the tax, insurance, and reporting consequences of relocating WORK PLACE several or more times a year. Lucky it is a multiple state company already. Hopefully a centralized payroll. But, it is still a payroll and HR headache when the work place changes. I would prohibit mobile work in any locality with a local tax (OH, PA, SF CA, OR, etc.) and maybe even those with required PTO, such as CA, CO, CT, etc. in a few years,WA too because of WA Cares. Possibly states with forced saver plans such as IL. Agein, depends on how often the person changes work location, and the particular work laws involved. Someone moving more than a couple times a year must make me enough to cover the exponentially increased payroll costs, which could even be as high as 10% or more of gross pay. WC insurance alone could go up in multiples from “office work” classification to something rated much higher. Domicile is your issue, and for a wise employer, no worry. Where the work is performed is very much the employer’s concern. Imagine you move once a month to a new state, and never within the state. That means the employer has to change your payroll 12 times every year and report your wages to 12 states, 12 insurance carriers, and so on. You would get 6 or more. W2 forms since only 2 states fit on each form. I am not saying it can’t be done, just that there are coats to the employer and employee with many fail to consider.

The comment from two toes about the employer and location is correct for “regular” residence, but not for work location. The employer can dictate work location, and should. In this case, since the poster states they work from “home” the employer gets to dictate the home location as they can terminate if they do not want to subject themselves to nexus in the location, if the location is not deemed safe, or for whatever reason they wish to judge. Of course, this assumes an employer employee relationship with no contract issues. the employer has every right and ability to control the work location, who enters, etc. if you work from home, you give up many rights, so it has to be a win win. your home becomes the employers office too, during permitted work hours, so they may not want cousin Eddie and kids there, no pets, no weapons, no booze, etc. the employer better be clear not to allow off hours work as they open up the liability bucket even more. note, I work from home, rv, car, hotel, etc. but, I work for my own corp, so I allow my travel. On the other hand, I have to know and abide by the rules to protect my corp from myself, and to defend successfully and as easily as possible in case of audit.

If you will be truly mobile, you will be the payroll department’s worst nightmare. They will have to monitor hours worked at each location to withhold properly. Reporting will also be a nightmare, you may need to be given multiple W2 forms (for instance). There are many many other issues, such as reporting your work locations for workers comp coverage, assuming they can find coverage for your temp locations. You may have to agree to report every work location before use, and no employer in their right mind will permit you to work while your rig is in motion as they assume liability for your rolling location and actions while working/driving, as no employer will knowingly approve working in a coffee shop lest you spill something and someone else slip and fall. Indeed, there are some localities with no waiver of time so one minute worked in their boundaries means you report and pay their taxes (could even be passing through on the road!). If you are a profitable employee, they may keep you. If you can be replaced by a static employee, or a cheaper employee, you might be replaced. Candidly, if legal for both parties, setting yourself up as a business they can hire may be cleaner for the hiring entity. For the truly mobile employee and their employer, the myriad of tax jurisdictions mean it will never be simple. Look at what pro athletes have to deal with for an example (and why many refuse to play for a CA or NY team when they have an option for a no state tax state for their home events). Domicile has nothing to do with the employer’s worry, they, and you, have to deal with the taxes at each location you work from. Your domicile may also want a bite from you There is a small push for all agencies to allow 30 days in a location to be the trigger for change in work location, but zero chance all tax agencies will agree to give up their power. The setup your own business solution helps the hiring entity, but cannot remove you from being subject to tax issues in your work locations. With all that said, many many employer’s and employee’s ignore the laws and report the office location and/or the presumed domicile as the work location and never come to harm. Not all jurisdictions are like NY and CA which are two states which work hard to make money catching scofflaws…
