Telecommuting or teleworking is a work arrangement in which an employee regularly performs officially assigned duties at home or another work site. Regular telework occurs one or more days per week and does not include working from home on nights or weekends. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management defines situational telework as telework that occurs on an occasional, non-routine basis.

Teleworking can be done from a home office or an alternate work site such as a telework center, which offers offices, conference rooms, and office equipment and may be closer to home than your office. U.S. General Services Administration provides a list of government and non-government telework centers in the Washington, D.C. metro area.

The benefits of telework are far reaching and include benefits to employees, organizations, and the environment. Employees enjoy greater work/life balance and save time and money on their commute. Organizations realize reduced real estate costs as well as recruitment and retention benefits while telework can reduce carbon footprints by keeping cars off the roadways and reduce dependency on foreign oil.
Telecommuting is the use of communciations technology to do office work from outside the office.
