WEST JORDAN – Jody Ware has been earning his paycheck from inside his West Jordan home since the pandemic began.
"I've been wanting to do it for years, so this is like a dream come true," said Ware.
His bosses sent him home with a laptop, extra monitor and other equipment he needed to do his job. The company even kicked in a little extra cash. "They give us a little bit of an allowance for the internet because it has to be at a certain rate," said Ware.
His biggest expense so far has been a $100 office chair. He believes that has been more than offset by the added convenience. "I don't have the commute anymore. I'm saving a whole bunch of money on fuel," said Ware. "Even groceries have been cheaper."
