My recommendation is that if you can’t pay them via PayPal, then don’t hire them. It’s easy enough to find someone who does have a PayPal account. However, keep in mind that this is not official legal advice — just my experience. I simply track what I have paid to overseas contracts and report that to my CPA at the end of the year. Overseas employees pay taxes in their own countries, and I provide them with proof that they work for my company. With all of this in place, I have never had an issue with paying people overseas. If you’re concerned, you can always ask your assistant to provide you with an invoice each month, for your own records. If you keep those invoices for your taxes, you’re better protected against any potential audit. I have a programmer who sends me an invoice for every paycheck. I suggest you use the method that works best for you.
