Sometimes, businesses enforce their employees to telecommute instead to save on office rent and space. So long as your employment rights and benefits are not violated, you can do so. But if you're being moved from being a full-time employee to a part-time worker or contractual worker, you have to talk to your employer first and renegotiate the terms of your employment - before you seek legal action.

Does your employer have to compensate your time for work taken home?

If you are salaried and exempt from FMLA's overtime rules, then no, never. If you are overtime eligible, then you must be paid for all, hours you work - even if you work contrary to the employers instructions not to work atr home or over an unpaid lunch hour. Once you turn in an honest time card, the employer must pay for time worked. The employer is also entirely free to discipline or dismiss you for working more than scheduled by your superiors. You must be paid whether your employer ordered or authorized the home-work or not. But that might be your last paycheck. Work only as ordered.
