Telecommuting to save gas
June 4, 2008 by Frank Girard · Leave a Comment
As gas prices rise, so does an interest in telecommuting. In fact, today on the way in to work I listened to a story about how the Federal Government was going to give employees an incentive to work from home. I heard the story quickly and didn’t get all the details. Does anyone else know about this story?
Just imagine how much money we would save if more people worked from home! Of course, I don’t know what that would do for family life. I worked from home for many years but as my older son became a teenager it was hard to keep him out of my designated office. Working from home has its pluses and minuses, but in terms of helping out the wallet there could be a big savings for you! The big question is how willing would employers be to have their folks work from home? Here’s a thought- what about tax incentives given to companies who let some of their employees work from home? There’s an idea! What do you think?
