Hi all,

We are planning to employ several "call centre" staff as permanent home workers/

As I understand it, if we provide the equipment, we must also maintain it....  However, we could make it part of the contract of employment that the homeworker must provide suitable equipment i.e. desk,   Although we would still have to carry out routine checks for compliance.

Initial thoughs are for us to provide the electrical equipment and chair only.

Does anyone have any experience of home workers and/or  guidance that they would be willing to share please.

Many thanks
