Just keep it for your records.🌍 Simple, Not Scary – Unless you’re setting up payroll in another country (👀 Canada anyone?), don’t make it harder than it needs to be.Sometimes the biggest bookkeeping “headaches” are actually just paperwork in disguise. 😉✍️👉 Would you ever hire a contractor outside the U.S.?
