Geographic limitations on where an employee can work from, often for legal or tax reasons.
Location restrictions limit where a remote worker can be based—not just for company preference, but often for legal, tax, or compliance reasons. A job might be "remote" but only for candidates in specific countries, states, or timezones.
Common restrictions include: country-specific (US-only, EU-only), timezone-based (Americas timezone), or state-specific within the US. Always check location requirements before applying to remote positions.
