Regular versus Remote (from Home) Job
 

Hello,

I agreed with one of my employees that he will work from home in the future, and no longer in the office.

How much should I substract from his wage (in %) ?

Any average comparing "In Office" with "From Home" wages?

Thanks for Input ...

i would demand the same pay working from home ar at an office.

i do my best work working from home

Can't you base it on performance?

What if he gets more done at home - that's fucked to pay him less.
On the other hand, if he's too distracted at home and gets less done, his pay should be less.

ya def base it on performance and how well the work gets done

It's hard to pay a software developer based on performance.

Paying him for every task he completes adds unnecessary bureaucracy. Paying him a % of revenue/profit doesn't work as well, because he does not influence them directly with his work.

Also, he prefers a stable + lower over a higher, but more unstable income.

if my employer tried to reduce my pay because I was working at home I would quit.
As long as he's productive Its actually saving you money for him to be at home, and i really do my best work at home with out all the bullshit and distractions of an office environment.

i think gornyhuy's approach is correct, if still stays on track with your projects then he is saving you money,
buy working from home

A-fuckin-men

:thumbsup

plus I've never heard of someone making less or more because they work from home.

I've known many people that have work from home it never was an issue, and they worked for very large companies to small companies.

it shouldn't matter where the work gets done.

IMHO do a test-period to evaluate his results (performance/produtivity wise) and then come up with an offer

just change the compensation scheme. base it on the daily productions instead.

Personally, I've found that remote employees are significantly less productive.
