Hiring on line and working at home are now among the most cost effective employment approaches adopted by employers.To hire employees willing to work online in the comfort of their homes, an employer advertise or hire some job sites where they  post  their  vacancies.A job seeker who surfed on various job sites will likely apply online. Reading the requirements and qualifications, a job seeker simply upload his or her CVs which will go directly to the employer.The employer will then have the liberty to review and examine the application of a job seeker. Once the employer decides to hire the applicant, he simply email the job seeker and they start to communicate.There are a dozen reason why an employer saved  so much  on  hiring  on line and letting the worker worked at home.One, the employer exercises the liberty choice among hundreds of applicants on line. He will have the liberty to find the "best of the best" as he shifts on those files of application. Two, the employer is no longer bound to pay Social Security Services (SSS) to  his workers since these workers work at their homes. The employer does not have to pay vacation, sick leave, bonuses and other incentives accrued to employees working on site.Three, the employer could easily terminate contract of work and is not bound by labor laws on security of tenure. At least, for the employer, he or she has all these advantages. The employer will no problem of terminating the services of the worker is he or she don''t like the output since a replacement is readily available on file.What about the worker who was hired to work at home? There are some advantages and disadvantages, too.One of the advantages is that the worker can work at home. He no longer have to travel miles and miles, struggling against traffic and regulated time when reporting to work.Working on line also deserve a bit higher salary or pay since the employer wants to encourage online workers to deliver what is expected of him on deadline. In fact, employers sometimes provide bonuses to those who could efficiently deliver their tasks.On line workers may  not observe regulated time. What is important is to get the job done on deadline.Yet, if there are advantages, there are also  disadvantages.  One, when the employer deliberately fails to pay regular and on time. Worst, the employer refused to pay at all.Two, the online worker may suddenly lost his or her job out of the employers'' tantrums. Three, online workers who worked at home could not readily avail protection extended by labor laws.However, to avoid this, online workers who work at their homes, must as much as possible enter into a contract with the employer. The contract should be legally binding. Notwithstanding, anyone can easily get away with contracts. For the workers'' protection, it is very important to get the services of established job sites who could manage regular payments. The job site may collect some percentage out of service charges. This is rather safe than being bullied and deceived by unscrupulous employers who utilized the internet in the pursuit of their vested interests.
