Home-Centred Employment
Home-Centred Employment : This is an aspect of 'contracting out', in that it is work being performed by non-employees of the firm. Also known as outwork, it is a situation where the 'outworker' performs the task(s) from his or her home. The outworker/home-worker relates to the firm on an individual basis and not through a subcontractor. This practice was prevalent in the garments sector, but is now more so in the information technology sector.
