I am a "remote employee" so I work from home every day and was hired to do so. However, I'm expected to be online/available by phone during "core hours" unless I've let my boss know. It's not generally a problem to flex my hours from time to time for an appointment, etc. but the expectation is to communicate with my team.
I have been working from home pretty much exlusively since 2012, and I think it works out well for me. I have an office area set up and I generally go there/stay there for most of my working hours. I will throw in a load of laundry in the morning and fold it at lunch, etc. but I don't watch TV/clean the house "while I'm working."
For my coworkers who were not hired as remote employees. They are allowed to work from hme one day per week, and from the office the rest. Same availability rules apply to them when they're working from home.
