Working from another region is typically not approved (unless on legit business travel) due to tax impacts to the company. I had an employee who wanted to work from Canada while visiting family.

Gives them the opportunity of losing a headcount without having to pay severance. Not worth it to save a few days of PTO.
US territories with travel longer than 5 hours from the home location is treated as International Travel.
Cannot work (8 hours) from PR, Hawaii, Virgin Islands etc or any International location unless you have approved Buisness Travel. Occasional email from your BYOD device while on vacation is okay.
