Wait, how is that different from any other s Corp in a country without layoff protections?

It doesn't expire for 60 days because they're not "really" unemployed till then. Which is still extremely bad government policy; you don't want your best taxpayers to leave.

So maybe they avoid tax declaration and government no longer wants them in the country?

Who's declaring what now? Paying taxes as an employee isn't opt-in.

Paying tax as an employee isn't opt-in. Paying tax as an employer isn't opt-in.

Why both of them? This has never made any sense to me.

I don't know how it works in United States. In Europe, Companies declaring the money deducted from the salary they have paid to the tax office, the employee is correcting if it is right or wrong. If they need to pay, they pay more, if not, they receive more.

Anyway my feeling is still the same, being employed by google means you're unemployed. This is a feeling. Being employed by apfel would make me feel different.
