2 weeks sounds a bit restrictive. I was under the impression that 6 months was the guideline to establish residency. I know several people who worked in the East Coast/Hawaii for multiple months, including myself, without letting their management chain know. We did eventually get e-mails warning us about tax implications, based on VPN usage, but no follow-up.

It's not, it's generally the line for a specific state to care. We've had consultants at my current employer who have to figure out exactly how many days they've spent in Arkansas because Arkansas wants income taxes for the days they worked in state. Technically even one day working in Arkansas triggers this... to the point we've had people refuse to work on that client because it seriously complicated their taxes.

This is called a "jock tax" because it's mostly aimed at collecting revenue from visiting athletes.
