Abstract: One of the manifestations of globalization of technology is a form of employment which is teleworking. Telecommuting is a new way of organizing work that revolutionizes the two fundamental aspects of the structure of the work, namely time and space. Telecommuting most common means of travel to work replacing the technical capabilities of telecommunications equipment such as a computer or phone. The literature draws attention to two basic definition of telework. The current situation on the Polish labor market is very difficult, but this is due to the economic crisis of recent years. But you can count on the fact that in the coming years as we emerge from the global markets of the crisis, employment in the form of teleworking will increase. At a time when employers want to save on labor costs, this form of employment seems to be appropriate. Please indicate on the advantages such as: reduction of fixed costs in the company; reduction of costs associated with adaptation and training employees; increase efficiency and productivity. We must also draw attention to the benefits for the labor market to improve the productivity and efficiency of existing businesses; small and medium-sized enterprises can more easily compete with large companies; creating jobs in less urbanized regions; it can speed up the restructuring of employment in Poland. Telecommuting is a very high chance of professional and social rehabilitation of persons with disabilities. Thanks to people with disabilities can get financial independence. Hiring people with disabilities can be an advantage that benefits for the company due to the possibility of obtaining any kind of relief, grants and assistance in maintaining employee who has a disability.
