OK just curious how others feel ethically about this situation!<br><br>
Say you normally work from home 4 hours a day on average (though varies a lot day to day), and need to keep at least 20 hours a week to maintain health insurance (but it's salaried so no one else keeps track).<br><br>
If you were unable to work for 3 days due to technical issues with the equipment supplied by your company, would you still count your time as having 'worked' those 3 days? Or would you use vacation/sick time or something? OK I'm gonna make a poll!! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="smile"><br><br>
I won't include this in the poll, but I'm also curious about your thoughts on: if the workload varies a lot day to day & some days you don't have any (or very little) work, would you still say you 'worked' because you were available during that time & everyone who doesn't telecommute would count that as time worked?
