It really depends on how your contract is written. You need to take legal advice on your contract of employment.

You have suggested home working is suitable for someone who's home acts as a base for work carried out on the road.   My question, in this scenrio, is when does their working time begin?  Is it when they arrive at the customers. i.e. are they expected to travel to the first customer in their own time.  Similar to someone who is office based and may have to travel upto an hour in their own time in order to arrive at the office.  Also, is there any legislation to cover this scenario.
