Employees working at home

Thank You for your input everyone. It looks like I'll be expanding my home office, to include a few employees. :)

at one point I worked from home 1 day a week.   When I did the remote into the server, it would track the time that I worked.  It was set to show exactly how long I was in each account and give the information on what i did in each account.  with a system like that, i would not have issues with employees working from home, but it would be just the 1 day a week.

While I can see that would be a bit more comforting for certain reasons, it's not assurance of compliance issues. For example, if you have an employee working off her home computer which happens to be the kids computer or the hubby's computer or maybe they have an unlocked filing cabinet. Sounds like small things but can be big headaches. If they are your employee no matter where they work, your closet, your office, their home, you are ultimately responsible for their compliance and there's no way to assure that without taking proper steps, IMHO I would have to have someone working with me (in house) for a while before I could take those risks. Plus the added liability goes on your insurance as well. You will need to add each employee to your E/O policy in order to be covered.

I completely agree with you Linda.  I had to work for almost a year in house before I had the chance to work from home.  I had to get a new puter to do this and employer set everything on it for the home -work.   it was alot to do to be compliant, but it is not for everyone..it is so involved that i did not do it for long.  it was easier just to go into office

Michele:
As the owner, I work from home quite often but honestly it is a pain.  I can never quite finish anything.  I can't file or get anything filed, I can't fax or photocopy or get anything I print.  When I come in I have to go thru the work I did at home and 'finish' it.  That is another reason that I don't want my employees working from home.  It is not the most efficient.  But for me, it is a necessity.  :)
