CHECKLIST

HOME BASED WORKER



The advent of computers, network software, electronic mail, modems and faxes has boosted the popularity of telecommuting or home based working and remote work-sites.  In addition to the principles and strategies suggested elsewhere in this program, when employing home based or off-site workers you should:


Test the workers technical skills, including ability to use a computer.

Train in the use of network software and electronic mail.

Give detailed assignments, hours of work and time for completion.

Have workers keep their time separately for each assignment.

Use performance agreements and benchmarking standards.

Make sure workers have a separate work area and a way to manage young children or elders in need of care.

Have them come into the office at least once every other week.

Have them sign all agreements and handbooks normally signed by regular employees.

Make sure they have automobile insurance and homeowners or rental property insurance.  Make sure your insurance policies cover these workers.

Spot-check employee availability.

Make sure all home equipment and furniture is ergonomically designed and in compliance with OSHA standards.

Investigate all accidents immediately and completely.

Involve your union in any home based worker programs.

If independent contractors, make sure they have a business license and sign an independent contractors agreement.
