Home Working

My workplace is moving towards home working (for those who want to) and was wondering what the general concenus is with it in general.
Another point is what teething troubles did you have and does your workplace manage homeworking and what lessons were learnt in the first few months.

I have a good idea of what it involves, but issues like payments for Internet connections and heating etc etc have come up and it would be good to get other peoples experiences on it.

Thanks

As for bils etc, my work generally pays 33% upto heating, electricity, broadband and telephone costs which I think is a little bit more than the normal, just have to make sure they see a copy of the bill every quarter and I get it paid back to me in my next pay.

Who do you work for?

I would imagine being able to smoke at your desk is also a bonus.

Yes you can, unless your using the room primarily for business use, in which case you should be paying rates on that part of the house.
