If a woman worker has work from home facility but pays equipment cost herself what should be examined?

Correct answer: Real income and cost burden

Working from home may remove the cost of travelling to an office, but it does not automatically mean that work has no expenses. A worker may have to pay for a computer, phone, internet connection, electricity, furniture, repairs, or other equipment. These costs reduce the money that the worker actually keeps. They may also be unfair if the employer receives the benefit of the work while shifting necessary business expenses entirely to the employee.

Option A is correct because the policy should examine real income after work-related costs and the burden created by those costs. The relevant question is not only the stated wage, but also what remains after equipment and operating expenses are paid. Office lunch, holiday lists, and age proof do not address this hidden cost. A fair arrangement may require clear reimbursement or cost-sharing rules, though the question asks only what should be examined.
