Insurance
[ch 7: page 38]It is normal for the employer to insure the equipment they supply, but the employee should notify their insurer that they are homeworking and find out if their normal home insurance increases as a result. It may not necessarily increase, as the home will be more secure through being occupied. However, traditional household contents insurance often excludes equipment used for commercial purposes. Any impact on insurance cover is likely to depend largely on the kind of role and additional equipment required.
