However, if it is a 100% remote job, most employers won't know about their employees' relocation unless they share that information. Also, if employees are getting paid via direct deposit, many employers won't notice the difference unless their "secretly relocated" employees are updating their location on their social media profile or publishing posts about their locations.
The only thing those employees will need is a private mailbox service in the same state to manage their mail online while living abroad.
You're completely forgetting that employees are required by federal and state law to file tax and employment forms. You are required by law to use the address where you are a resident. You do NOT want to get caught with tax evasion. When living in any country you also have to be legally allowed to work there - even for a remote job. Many employers are not set up for employees outside of their home country. Those who are have really strict requirements due to international laws.
Also many companies track employees' activity on their work issued computers. They also track ISP addresses. This is even more of a thing now with so many remotely working.
