Telecommuting is a work arrangement that allows employees to work remotely, usually from home or another location outside of the traditional office. This arrangement can be beneficial to both employers and employees, as it can reduce costs, improve employee productivity, and provide greater flexibility in scheduling.

Telecommuting is a voluntary work arrangement in which an eligible employee with approval “works one or more days each work week from home instead of commuting to a work place.” Telecommuting is generally not intended for situations involving employees who work from home on a full-time basis.
