Jobs which do not require much personal interaction with a lot of other people are more likely to be done remotely. Though employees are expected to keep the information confidential, they do not perform any critical task. Many companies divide the jobs into 2 categories - those which have to be done by their employees in office and tasks which can completed remotely by their employees or independent contractors.
Work where the employee does not need too many inputs like teaching or writing can be done at home, without affecting the quality of the work. Some of the popular work at home jobs are:
1. Customer service work at home jobs - a land line telephone connection is needed.
2. Freelance writing , proofreading, internet research
3. General, medical and legal transcription.
4. Verification of data
5. Data conversion, online data entry
6. Web design, programming

With the widespread availability of high speed internet connections, the number of people working from home has increased rapidly. Some people have conventional full time jobs with large companies which allow them the flexibility to work from home, while others work with companies that specialise in hiring telecommute employees or independent contractors.
Unlike conventional jobs, where an employee is expected to be in office for a fixed number of hours every day, most work at home jobs offer flexible timings for employees. The employee is usually compensated based on the amount and quality of the work done. The work to be done is usually sent by email or can be downloaded from the companies website. When the work is completed, it is uploaded or sent by email again. However, for some work at home jobs like data entry , which is subcontracted to local vendors, a business may drop off and pick up the documents.
The disadvantage of work at home jobs is that there is little control over how the data is used. In many industries, information has to be kept confidential, and since there is little control over how the employee uses the data at his or her home, the work cannot be completed remotely.
