My first post mentioned 'homeworking'. You will often come across the term 'teleworking'. Homeworking and teleworking used to mean something quite different. Let me explain.
The strict definition of homeworking - workers that are based at home and are engaged in practical work: manufacturing, craft work, creating a product, stuffing envelopes (lets not even go there!) etc.
The strict definition of teleworking - workers that are usually office-based and carry out most of their work from home: secretarial, writing, data entry, bookkeeping, web design etc.
It seems that both terms are now synonymous with each other. In this blog I will always use the term 'homeworker'. That is, 'someone who works from home using remote technology'.
