Default My OH wants to continue to work for her US-based employer ...

Hello All!

Sorry to have been largely absent, but things have been crazy here the past two weeks! First, a quick update, then a question:

The house sale is proceeding as they usually do ... bump, bump, bump! But, the closing is still set for July 9th, so that means we will most likely be on a plane for Chch the first week in August!

Now, the question: My wife's plan all along has been to continue to work for her current US-based employer. However, her HR department is having trouble figuring out how to do it. Does anyone know where I can get an answer to this question: Can she work as a contract employee for them while living in NZ? Or, if not, can she work as a contract employee for an Australian company while living in NZ?

Just a nudge in the right direction would be helpful!

(I guess the third route, which I've pushed from the start, would be to simply be an independent contractor, then she works for herself, which I figure would be no problem at all.)

Thanks all and SEE YOU SOON!
