Telecommuting is a typical arrangement by which an employee
works away from the worksite (such as working from home or library , or business
center) for a specific time of period.
The purpose of the Telecommuting concept is to create
flexible working conditions to employees to help them integrate their work
lives and personal lives more effectively and better manage issues such as care
giving, commuting, community service and continuing education. Successful
telecommuting arrangements serve the needs both of individual employees and
their unit/departments. The focus of the arrangement is on meeting operational
needs and job performance. It is
mandatory to have a written agreement clarifying both parties’ expectations for
telecommuting purpose.
