I'm pretty sure it varies state-to-state, but companies with which I'm familiar handle this with a sort-of least-common denominator of 1 month - after that, they go into "apportionment mode", splitting out your income to accommodate the various states' strictures. I've had to rotate in and out of temporary assignments to accommodate (avoid?) this.

With regard to Chama and Antonito, it is likely each state's requirements allow employees to work in the tax umbrella of their declared home state work location, ignoring the particulars of a given day, probably even week...
