Seriously, Office depot will handle it for you for $6 an employee per compensation period.

Do you have a link for more information on this? I'm curious and would like to look into it.

Not sure the pricing structure, but I remember office depot having an advertisement, it was probably like "As Low as $6" per pay period. Ths site says $70 a month but that's probably the minimum for the whole company. Then per check fees.

If you have an employee in another state, you are usually required to incorporate or register with the state and then do the filings for that state. I don’t think this office depot thing handles that part for you. In fact, not even Gusto did this and that’s one of the reasons we had to switch to a PEO instead.

In the US, the tricky/potentially expensive part is understanding what labor laws you need to adhere to and what taxation issues you might be creating when you hire someone in a new jurisdiction.

I actually use a PEO, but there are still random things to take care of for random states so it doesn’t solve everything.
