its office for Mrs. Whitehurst to use while she worked, she
requested permission from her supervisor to work at home.
Although her supervisor initially resisted the idea, he
eventually approved her request. Mrs. Whitehurst produced a
letter dated November 30, 2000, and signed by her office manager
which states:
Given the insufficient office work space and lack of a
computer, Carla worked in her home. This was
convenient for the company in that we did not have to
lease more office space or purchase a computer to
accommodate the needs of her project.
She visited Horne’s offices approximately once a week for an
hour.
She installed a second telephone line in her home to access
the Internet and her e-mail, and so her clients could call her
when they needed. Horne did not reimburse her for either the
additional telephone line or the computer. Petitioners produced
a copy of a telephone bill for $119.17 dated April 23, 1998, on
which “64.30 work related” was handwritten. Petitioners also
produced carbon copies of checks made payable to the telephone
company reflecting the same account number as that on the
aforementioned telephone bill for the following amounts on the
following dates: $41.75 dated September 20, 1997; $119.17 dated
May 19, 1998; $193.74 dated what appears to be September 16,
1998; and $44.79 dated June 18, 1999.
