10 Reasons to Telecommute
David Letterman Junkie? Well, here are the 10 Reasons Why Telecommuting (working from home) is preferable to work at a "Traditional" Job. 10) Significant tax incentives for independent contractors, the most common work-related-from-Home Arrangement.a) is no federal or state tax withheld from your pay.Well, yeah! No federal or state tax is withheld from the paychecks of independent contractors, because you are independent and not an employee, it is up to you to get your taxes at the end of the year. Obviously this gives you a huge advantage over your employee counterparts, who often wonder who swallowed the other half of their paychecks every week! B) You can take increased business deductions.Unlike your office-trudging counterparts, while working from home, you can request income tax deductions for work-related expenses such as computer, internet service, fax, phone, paper, pens, etc.9) very flexible hour most work-from-home job offers completely flexible schedules, individuals can often work part-time, full time, and often around the clock. This type of flexibility not only provides more comfort and convenience, but often enables an individual to keep his day work, while adding the work-from-home job as a second source of income, or the granting of individual enough time to "test" the other job without losing the first one.8) No more paying to work! If you pay to work? Read this and learn why, if you commute every day to a traditional office job, you may well be.a) In a traditional work arrangements, this is the average annual expenditure for the average worker making $ 28,000 - $ 3000 for federal and state government income tax, social security and Medicare taxes -. $ 6,000 in childcare-$ 2.400 extra for car payments, car insurance and personal property taxes for a newer car .- $ 1,700 for a 10-mil-a day commute -. $ 1,000 for clothing, dry cleaning and other products and services related to professional-looking -. $ 1,000 for lunches -. $ 2,600 for fast food and eating out because of overexhaustion from work .- $ 2,400 for I-deserve-this-because-I-work-so-hard lines and debt treats (toys, special outings) for children. Voila! This person is spending a whopping $ 20,100 per year to work! Now take another typical employee does not even earn as much as, say, $ 20,000 annually, and there you have it - this person is actually paying to work. Note: In today's economy, with wages on the decline, and everything else on the slope, the latter scenario is even more likely.7) No More rushing to complete Matters In Your In a traditional job, you usually have a "lunch break." Hours for lunch.The problem is, so does everyone else, and it is usually the same hours. This means that if you must go to the bank, shop, or just to have lunch, chances are that everyone else is using the same block of time to get the same things done. Pretty busy, huh? And after the work day is done, anything left will be filled in the evening, again in the same block of time as everyone else. If something is also still open at this time. Not so when you work from home. In most cases, because you are your own boss, setting your own hours, you may choose when to take lunch hours and breaks, so you can take a trip to the bank, shop or diner where you want. The only way to work.6) Conserve time, your most valuable asset! Being able to save considerable time each day not having to commute to and from work will free you to try something different, not least that can spend more time doing the work (flexible working, remember?) To generate more income.5) wear CARIF you drive to work, yes, we all know that the price of gas these days! Add this added mileage and wear and tear on your clunker and pretty soon we're back to "pay to work" scenario we talked about earlier. I know someone who swears that he is working to support his car! 4) wear youa) Healthier have a friend who refuses to work from home and says he needs the "health benefits" their job offers. In the meantime, his job involves working12 hours tough days on the road with some heavy lifting, the very reason for his decreased health! Are you ruining your health for medical benefits, too? B) stress well, this speaks for itself! With all the running around, commuting, trying to do everything in your "lunch break", spend endless amounts of money on commuting, clothes and then go home to a family that wants you to start your second job to take care of their needs, Excuse me , I have to rest just thinking about it! 3) Environmentally friendly More good news! If you work from home, you not only can feel good about the reduction of stress and financial costs, you also know that you are doing your part to protect the environment! Working from home helps to reduce overall car and bus emissions, thus making for a cleaner environment! 2) reduce the need for outsourcing or "offshoring" as it is called TodayFor the politically motivated, many find the idea of working from home on a global scale, appealing, on the grounds that it keeps the jobs home, where they belong, and reduces the need or desire to ship jobs overseas. A positive trend for our economy overall.And the main reason why working at home is preferable to a "traditional job"? 1) No office politics! This is a biggie! Many people (including myself) are working simply more efficiently from home, able to concentrate and stay more focused on the task without the constant distractions that occur in an office setting. Without having to worry about if you said the right thing to whom, if the boss is looking over your shoulder and really "have it in you anyway" or that trip to the office party Friday or spend the rest of the day ruminating over how to get out of it (sure sounds productive to me!), you can just relax, stretch out, grab a cup of coffee (on your own time, of course, that when you want-Did I mention you can arrange your own breaks!) kick off your shoes (not that you need to carry, need I remind you that you can work in your underwear, your birthday suit-Make sure you stay on a high floor, or have good blinds for this one-or, for those die- hard enthusiasts, an Armani suit if you like?), and, yes, if you can remember after all this freedom that you actually work, WORK! You get the picture. You could probably add some of your own. The point is that telecommuting (working from home), now more than ever, simply makes sense!
