Working From Home Guide

Working From Home looks at how the law affects both those who are self-employed and working from home and those who are working from home and employed as homeworkers.

Working From Home is a pocket guide that outlines the essentials about what you need to know, what you need to do, and what the law says about those who are working from home.

Working From Home examines the legal aspects involved in working from home as a self-employed person or as a homeworker. It breaks these down into easy-to-understand sections so that you will be clear how self-employment and the law stand, and what rights under the law there are for homeworkers.

Subjects covered include:

• Tax rates and allowances when working from home
• Some popular ways of earning money working from home
• Minimum wage rates for homeworkers
• Sample full business plan for the self-employed
• Sample agreement when one spouse agrees to work for the other
• Matters that should be included in an employment contract
• Specimen layout for a set of business accounts
• 'Heads of agreement' for a business partnership agreement between husband and wife
• Health and safety - the elementary steps that should be taken by an employer when an employee is working from home
