Assess
the costs and benefits of home-based teleworking/telecommuting
from the point of view of your employer.
Please fill in the blanks in the form below. When you finish,
click on the SUBMIT button and we will display the cost-benefit analysis
for your particular case. You may then use the information as part of
your pre- (or mid-) telecommuting discussions with your employer. If
you are using this analysis to describe a group of teleworkers, use average values for your inputs.
Enter the data in the units you normally use. For example, if you're
in the U.S. use dollars; in the UK use pounds; in the euro-based countries
use euros; in Japan use yen; etc., for costs. Similarly, use square
feet in the U.S. and
square meters elsewhere for questions about areas. Enter "0" if you're
not sure about the cost—but then try later to find out what it is. Also, only
enter costs that are borne by your employer and that are new
or differential costs. For example, if your employer ordinarily
pays for a desktop computer for you and you give up that computer for
a laptop that you use both while teleworking and while you are in the
office, then enter the difference in cost between the laptop and the
desktop computers rather than the entire cost of the laptop.
Note that we do record your input data for statistical
analysis purposes. However, we do not record any personal data and no individual records will
be divulged to anyone other than the analysts at JALA.
