teleworker
Works from home
A teleworker is someone who works remotely, typically from home, rather than commuting to a central office.
The term emphasizes the use of telecommunications technology—phone, internet, video conferencing—to stay connected with colleagues and employers: The company hired teleworkers across three time zones.
Teleworker and remote worker are largely interchangeable.
