What are these "contracts" you're referring to? I've worked full time in tech for 25 years and I've never had a contract of any sort that I'm aware of.



you can have it written in your contract that you work from home. in some countries it's necessary to pay taxes differently, for example.


I think the disconnect is that in Europe employment contracts spell out a lot. In the U.S. they are really don't cover a lot about how you work. The common phrase in the U.S. is "additional tasks and duties as required", which could mean anything.


I've had four employment contracts in Europe (3x EU, 1x CH) and all included that clause
