home-based employment

Working from residence

Home-based employment is work performed from one's residence rather than an employer's premises.

The term covers both remote employees of companies and self-employed people running businesses from home: Home-based employment has surged since the pandemic.

It implies a formal work arrangement, distinguishing it from casual side projects or hobbies.
