Abstract

telecommuting is synonymous with the work-from-Home concept, wherein the employee, instead of physically commuting between home and the workplace rather works from home and connects with the office via channels of communication such as telephone, internet, Voice over IP, videoconferencing, virtual private networks, and other options. This broad concept takes various other names such as e commuting, telework, web commuting, virtual office, electronic homework, distance work, location-independence work, micro-jobbing, co-working, nomad work, and flexiplace , depending on minor differences in the procedure adopted.In a stricter sense, "telecommuting" is the work-from-home concept wherein the worker either gets the work done or maintains an active line of contact through various communication channels like internet and telephone. Such communication links replace the daily commute to work, with the worker gaining by means of flexible working location and usually flexible hours. telecommuting is a common option for clerical and data entry workers who can do their duties without being present in the office headquarters for the firm for whom they work.
