Employers are hunting for ways to make employees pay to increase their profits. One idea is called Bring Your Own Device(BYOD) which requires employees to supply provide devices to access company resources.  Didn't set well with younger generations who don't want employers invading their data, or life, without question or limit.

Now we have Provide Your Own Resources (PYOR).  Instead of young people the idea is target working parents with the illusion of freedom while enriching the bottom line at expense of the employee.  The employee provides all the physical resources and services.  They provide the building, furnishings, electricity, ISP, and computer, etc.   

Will you be employee or contractor? ASK!  As a contractor not only are you 100% liable for your actions, you're liable for all taxes. You'll receive a fee, nothing else.  

Check w/ ISP(Charter, Comcast, CenturyLink). Most consider telecommuting a business activity & they will raise your rate.  Do you rent? Check your lease.
