With remote work plan, Facebook dashes hopes of paycheck arbitrage

Remote worker here: my home city was not part of the agreement. I don't know of anybody has "and I will only live out of X city" in their employment agreement.

If they're changing from office-only to remote, perhaps it's worth revisiting their contract, but we can't pretend that their place of living is incorporated into it somehow.

It may not have been.

That said, your state and possibly your county/city probably need to be known due to nexus (state incorporation and tax issues) and personal taxes (potentially all locales).

I believe this is why FB says they will crack down hard on people who fudge this info — getting in trouble with the tax man could open a Pandora’s box.

Yes, but that's between me and payroll, not a condition of my salary. That's the line I'm trying to draw.

I work remotely and my employment agreement actually states that "The workplace is determined in <my address>" in the first paragraph. Might be worth checking yours.
