Defining Remote Work

Let's start with what a remote worker is:

  • someone who doesn't go to a central place of work like an office building, warehouse, or store
  • someone who can work from anywhere, who works from home, or who has a flexible workplace
  • someone who telecommutes or teleworks

For the purposes of this survey, Cornwall residents who are working from home temporarily because of the COVID-19 pandemic are not considered remote workers.
