Got it.
You think that your convenience is exclusively more important than the legal system, the company you work for, the people you work with, and the people you produce a product or service for.
Is it legal where the company reports its base of operation and is legally liable? Lets assume yes or they'd be fired already.
Did you miss the whole "quiet" part of the narrative? The point is that the company DOESN'T KNOW that this is happening. If they did, yeah... the people would probably be fired already.
When it comes to interstate--let alone interNATIONAL--law, there is no "let's assume yes". There is only "make absolutely sure!".
This is something I deal with on a daily basis. And it is INCREDIBLY detailed and particular. Our company is going to a trade show. Employees from divisions around the world are going to attend. They're all going to wear shirts the company bought. I had to supply *detailed* information on the material, sleeve length, collar type, and country of origin in order to mail them to our employees.
If I'd gotten it wrong, it could have cost our company. Severely. Not only in penalties, but in enhanced scrutiny from Customs.

That's you saying you've never had to deal with interstate or international commerce--and have zero clue how interstate/international law works. The company's base of operations is irrelevant. Where it's doing business IS.
And if you're in a jurisdiction outside of where your company exists, you are potentially opening them up to a whole world of liability.
