I'm an American starting a US office for a UK based firm. How do we establish an employer/employee agreement?

Question

I've received an offer from a UK based company to begin operations in the US. I'm an American citizen and I'm wondering how taxes/social security/workers compensation/etc. are typically handled when a foreign employer hires an American in the US. I'm trying to avoid being a contractor. Does the foreign firm need to incorporate in the US? Thanks in advance for your help!

Careful!  Lots of scams operate something like this.

They and you  need a lawyer.  Get one, make sure they are paying.
