[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Workers who punch in and punch out on a set schedule at work want to do remote more.  But exactly what is benefit to management?

They can’t work any extra time. Exactly 40 is allowed. My firm we do a clunky VPN on your home laptop or a cheap company laptop and no printing allowed and can’t save work to laptop. No where near quality of set up at physical office.   Plus they have to fill out productivity logs, log on and check with supervisors to make sure working.

Sounds like a headache to managers. I WFH myself off the clock but when network issues, people not available, system down, laptop issues I work later or weekend etc. But on the clock sounds like an invite to get fired. They can’t make up time. [/quote]

The way remote work goes for you is NOT how it goes for everyone. I work 37.5 hours a week. My VPN is not clunky, but smooth. We can print to a printer in the office or one we have at home if we have a home printer. We can save work on our system (saving on the desktop is discouraged, yet possible). We don't have to fill out any productivity logs or check in with supervisors. On Friday afternoons we submit a timesheet for that week saying how many hours we worked. The benefit to management of me working from home is that I am a happier employee, and because I have access to email at home, I am more likely to check in during off hours if I know something important is going on for one of my bosses.
