> Hello Jo > I have been teleworking for 3 months on a BBC pilot project (which should > run for a year) and all is going very well. On the practical front the BBC > supplies all equipment - computer with isdn line, phone, combined > fax/scanner/printer/, lamp/desk/chair (for health & safety reasons can't > supply own furniture). They pay a lump sum of £96 towards electricity per > year. Phone and online costs are just billed straight to the BBC (they put > a second phone line in - BT home/business highway). The BBC insurance > covers BBC equipment in the home - so haven't had to do anything there. > They have agreed with the Inland revenue that having a computer at home > shouldn't be taxable etc. - so basically I haven't had to do anything > special. > I go in one day a week and have constant contact with colleagues by phone > and email. I work on Research Central -the BBC research intranet site - > but other people on the pilot are (film) cataloguers - and that is a good > job for teleworking. We have a teleworking co-ordinator and HR produced a > work/life balance intranet site so we are probably quite far ahead in this > field. I guess your HR people would be the ones in the know. These links > might help.
