Interesting not what I'd expect with a PEO. Any sense on whether JustWorks requirement is because of law or because is best for JustWorks?

It’s because of laws. PEO handles some things but states being what they are have exceptions.

It’s unfortunate because this system encourages hiring remote offshore contractors.

Yeah, I was surprised when I found out this is how it works. When I first signed up with a PEO I assumed it was all taken care of. But then they handed me a big list of states I needed to register with and all the very antiquated processes each of them uses.
