Work At Home---- A Perspective ( Hiree’s point of view)

In the present global context, work at home concept has become much popular among the masses. In the coming days also, the same is expected to gain further momentum. Even though, work at home has its own inherent disadvantages, still a home worker enjoys several benefits. Next few lines are spelt to enumerate a broad sketch of such advantages and disadvantages which a home worker generally extracts from such offer.

Benefits :-

1. No need to leave home and be away from family. Work may be attended from the comfort of own home which otherwise would not have been possible for regular employment.
2. Home Work rescue from daily commuting to a distant office place, which means both cost of transport and time is saved.
3. Unlike office duty, there is no time bound attendance and fixed timing for work at home. It may be finished in spare time leisurely after satisfying all other personal and family needs.
4. Official decorum is completely done away with, either in the form of dress code or any ethics of whatsoever nature. In several cases it results in reduction of expenses also.
5. More time may be spent with family or devoted in other business activity. This may generate additional earnings.
6. Office remuneration is fixed as determined by regulatory authority or sometimes by mutual negotiation between the representatives of employees and the management. Individual worker has no say to augment the wages whereas, in home based work, every individual can boost up his earnings by encashing his spare time to the extent possible.
7. Official boredom, to be with the same set of furniture in the same premises and same colleagues is removed.
8. There is no eagle’s eye of supervision by way of follow up from office boss for work at home.
9. Huge work force which could not secure a permanent office work and even the retired persons, students or housewives can also manage to earn something by work at home.

1. Permanent and regular remuneration is not assured in case of work from home. It’s based on no work no pay principle.
2. Superannuation benefits which accumulate to some handful amount are not available like office work.
3. Bargaining power with the employer is gone, since the home based workers has no forum to fight with.
4. Job security is completely absent as they are simply hired for the particular contract and have no right to claim regular employment.
5. Compensation of any nature either for accident or death can not be claimed which otherwise could have been available for regular office workers.
