Practice question
An employee works three days at home through company online systems and two days at the regular office under an agreed arrangement. Is the office attendance alone inconsistent with the definition of telecommuting?
- Yes, every workday must be remote
- No, work at an alternative workplace may be in part, and hybrid arrangements are recognized
- Yes, because online systems can be used only at home
- Yes, unless the employee waives paid leave
- No, because every person using the internet is automatically telecommuting
