What's the situation like if your employee opens a company and invoices you like a consultant ? I do this in Europe (admittedly I don't work for a single client exclusively) but it seems like the path with least friction for tech workers.

In that case it's very simple for the company paying but much more work for the employee since they are the ones responsible for taxes. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but I've found many employees don't want to do it. They need to make sure they are either paying their estimated taxes quarterly or be saving a significant portion of their income.

That also doesn't address that it is significantly cheaper for group health insurance in the US vs. individual. As a company I can be paying $400/mo vs. the employee who would be paying $2K for similar coverage.
