home-based work

Work from residence

Home-based work is employment performed from one's residence rather than a traditional workplace.

The term covers both remote employees of companies and self-employed freelancers: She transitioned to home-based work after having children.

It often implies flexible scheduling and the absence of a commute, though boundaries between work and personal life can blur.
