Does the U.S. have any labor agreements in place regarding U.S. citizens working for foreign governments whose work location is in the continental United States? Particular interest is in regard to taxation and tax withholding for U.S. taxes, benefits esp. worker/industrial safety and worker compensation issues, and labor relations. Which laws take precedence? Are foreign governments required to defer to U.S. laws and regs/practices if they operate within the U.S. or do they have the option of requiring employees to follow laws, guidelines, policies of the home country?

I am not a tax expert. But have a general understanding of this area. UNLESS governed by a treaty (not a labor agreement), my understanding is that you are a U.S. Citizen, working in the U.S. You are liable for taxes to the IRS and state where you work if they have a state income tax.
Also, UNLESS there is a treaty dictating otherwise, they are required to follow all U.S. laws. As a resource please check with the U.S. Dept. of Labor, www.dol.gov, which will be able to assist you further. Hope this helps. |
