Yes, my cousin loved his telecommute job in Phoenix. It started as a traditional job with a major financial institution there in processing. He did have to attend one staff meeting a month in person, but other than that he worked at home. He was required to log into the company's system by 9 a.m. in the morning, but could log in anytime after 1 a.m. if he couldn't sleep or woke up early. He was required to process so many transactions prior to the end of the work day. If he processed them all in 5 hours, then he was done for the day. He was paid for 8 hours a day and had benefits. It never took him 8 hours to process his day's allotment.
