21 Work-at-Home Companies That Hire You as an Employee

Legitimate companies do hire people to work from home as W-2 employees. Many of these jobs are limited to certain states and involve set schedules, customer calls, and performance goals.

That distinction was one of the most confusing parts of my own work-at-home job search. I understood why contract work appealed to some people, but I also understood wanting a regular paycheck with taxes taken out automatically.

The 21 companies below hire remote employees rather than independent contractors for at least some positions.

The Safelite listing details were checked on October 8, 2026. Locations, pay, benefits, equipment policies, and worker classifications can change.

Which Companies Hire W-2 Employees to Work From Home?

The 21 companies covered below are Concentrix, Alorica, InfoCision, Conduent, Smith.ai, Signet Jewelers, Frontdoor, Safelite, Boldly, Equivity, Siegel Solutions, Carnival Cruise Line, Roadie, ParentSquare, eMoney Advisor, Instrumentl, Vetcove, Bullhorn, ProScribe, Littera Education, and CVS Health.

Some primarily offer customer service and call-center work, while others hire experienced administrative, legal, accounting, sales, technical, medical, and education professionals.

Not every company will have a suitable remote opening when you check, unfortunately.

What Is a W-2 Work-From-Home Job?

A W-2 work-from-home job means a company hires you as an employee rather than an independent contractor. The employer generally withholds federal income, Social Security, and Medicare taxes from your pay, as explained by the IRS employee and contractor guidance.

Being a W-2 employee does not automatically mean a job is full-time or includes health insurance, paid time off, or equipment. Check those details separately, along with the approved states and required schedule.

Lower-Barrier Customer Service and Support Companies

The companies in this section hire remote employees for phone-based customer service, sales, or support.

Some positions accept applicants with a high-school diploma and customer service experience, but none guarantees that every remote opening is entry-level.

Concentrix

Concentrix hires remote employees for customer service, technical support, and sales programs. U.S. openings are commonly limited by state, schedule, language, or client.

Concentrix lists paid training and employee benefits, but pay, eligibility, and equipment depend on the opening. Its hiring process may include typing, computer, language, and customer-service assessments, along with internet and system tests for work-from-home applicants.

The work is phone-heavy and metrics-driven, and employee experiences can vary considerably by client program and manager.

Alorica

Alorica hires employees for customer experience, sales, operations support, management, and corporate work. Look for U.S. remote positions in its career system rather than assuming every job can be done from home.

Requirements, pay, equipment, and approved states depend on the client program. Ask which health, retirement, and other benefits apply to the specific position.

Worker feedback varies by program. Ask about call volume, performance goals, training, and how much control you will have over your schedule.

InfoCision

InfoCision currently hires U.S. employees for 100 percent remote call-center work. Positions handle inbound and outbound calls for commercial sales or fundraising campaigns, including nonprofit, Christian, and conservative organizations.

InfoCision lists paid training, health and dental insurance, life and disability coverage, a 401(k), and bonus opportunities. You must supply a qualifying Windows computer, dual monitors, a wired headset, and hardwired high-speed internet.

Recent employee reviews frequently mention low pay, short training, and sales pressure. Read the current campaign description carefully before applying.

Conduent

Conduent hires remote employees for customer service, healthcare support, transaction processing, and related business-services work. Read my Conduent work-from-home review for a closer look at its call-center positions.

Many customer service jobs require a high-school diploma or GED and previous service or call-center experience. Pay, schedules, benefits, state restrictions, and equipment differ by opening, and Conduent warns that legitimate recruiters will not ask candidates to buy equipment.

Smith.ai

Smith.ai hires remote virtual receptionists in the United States and Mexico. Employees answer calls for different businesses, take messages, schedule appointments, screen potential clients, and sometimes collect payments.

U.S. pay starts at $15 per hour, or $16 for bilingual English-Spanish receptionists. Paid training is included, and healthcare benefits are available to employees working at least 30 hours per week.

You need professional call-handling ability, a personal computer with at least 8GB of RAM, reliable internet, a headset, and typing speed of at least 40 words per minute. Smith.ai requires at least 25 hours per week, including one Monday shift.

You can read my Smith.ai review here.

Signet Jewelers

Signet Jewelers has hired remote customer experience employees to support brands including Kay, Zales, Jared, and Banter. The work involves answering calls, documenting interactions, and helping with order or account problems.

Customer-service hiring can depend on upcoming training classes, so those openings are not always listed. Signet also hires for remote corporate roles, which usually need more specialized experience.

Check the individual posting for pay, equipment, paid training, benefits, and location rules. Customer-care schedules may include days, evenings, nights, and weekends.

Frontdoor

Frontdoor, the company behind American Home Shield, hires remote employees for customer service, sales, and specialized corporate work.

Look for jobs labeled “Virtual” or “100% Remote” on its career board. Customer-support work can involve calls, service-contract questions, and resolving problems, while sales positions have their own targets and requirements.

Experience requirements and pay vary by position. Frontdoor lists medical, dental, vision, disability and life insurance, an employee assistance program, and a 401(k), but eligibility depends on the job.

Safelite

Safelite hires remote customer service employees who schedule auto-glass service and help callers with related questions. Its customer service career path also includes training, quality, workforce management, supervisory, and operations roles.

A remote Customer Service Representative opening lists $18 per hour and accepts residents of Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas.

This posting is for classes starting in January 2027, with full-time and part-time schedules available. Paid training runs Monday through Friday for the first three weeks, and full attendance is required. You must provide your own Windows 11 computer, wired headset, Ethernet cable, and webcam.

Part-time employees can participate in the 401(k), tuition reimbursement, employee discounts, and a paid volunteer day. Approved states can differ between postings, so read the exact job description before applying.

The companies above offer some of the lower-barrier employee positions.

My separate lists of work-from-home jobs for beginners and remote jobs that provide equipment cover additional options when experience or computer access is a concern. The beginners list also includes freelance work, so check the worker classification.

Experienced Administrative, Legal, Bookkeeping, Sales, and Technical Companies

These remote employee jobs usually require related experience or knowledge of a particular industry or software. Some companies also offer roles for people early in their careers, so read each posting’s requirements.

Boldly

Boldly hires part-time and full-time W-2 executive assistants for fully remote work. Employees support executives with calendars, travel, email, expenses, research, and other administrative responsibilities.

Boldly requires at least seven years of direct executive-assistant or senior administrative-assistant experience. Current U.S. positions pay $27 to $30 per hour and include a technology stipend, paid time off, paid holidays, parental leave, and a 401(k) match; full-time employees also receive company-paid medical, dental, vision, and life insurance.

Equivity

Equivity hires experienced U.S. and Northern Mexico applicants for remote legal, administrative, marketing, intake, and related support work. Its current careers page displays openings only when positions are available.

Equivity specifically confirms that its virtual paralegals are W-2 employees, not independent contractors. Those roles require relevant legal experience, and Equivity says its virtual assistants hold bachelor’s degrees.

You can read my Equivity review here.

Siegel Solutions

Siegel Solutions hires remote employees for bookkeeping and accounting support. Applicants must live in Massachusetts or New Hampshire.

You should have experience with QuickBooks, Excel, reconciliations, accounts payable and receivable, and managing deadlines for multiple clients.

The company lists a fully remote work environment, employee training, a company-issued computer with dual monitors and other tools, employer contributions toward medical and dental insurance, a retirement match, paid holidays, and paid time off. Pay is not published on the main careers page.

Carnival Cruise Line

Carnival Cruise Line hires remote employees for sales, finance, risk, technology, and other land-based work.

Use the remote work-style filter on its careers site. Read location and travel requirements closely because a remote job may still be limited to particular states or regions.

Personal Vacation Planner hiring happens in training classes, so that sales role is not always available. When one is posted, compare the base pay and sales incentives separately rather than treating advertised total earnings as a guaranteed salary.

Eligible employees may receive health coverage, a 401(k) match, paid time off, tuition reimbursement, and cruise discounts.

Roadie

Roadie, a UPS company, hires remote employees for customer experience, trust and safety, finance, and technology work. This is separate from driving for Roadie, which is independent-contractor gig work.

Its remote Trust & Safety Specialist opening requires at least two years of trust-and-safety or risk-related experience. Duties include investigating incidents, reviewing claims, and helping prevent misuse of the platform.

Pay is not published for that opening. Roadie lists company-paid employee health-insurance premiums, a 401(k) match, paid time off, a monthly work-from-home stipend, and the technology needed for the job.

ParentSquare

ParentSquare is a remote-first education-technology company that hires employees for customer support, implementation, sales, engineering, and other professional work.

Customer-facing positions typically require previous support or education-technology experience and may involve phone, email, and chat. ParentSquare lists medical, dental, vision, and life insurance, employer HSA contributions, a 401(k) match, stock options, paid leave, and 15 paid holidays.

eMoney Advisor

eMoney Advisor hires remote-first employees in nearly 40 states. Remote roles can include client support, training, product, engineering, finance, and other work related to its financial-planning software.

Support jobs generally require previous customer service, software, or financial-services experience. eMoney says employees receive the technology and resources needed to work, a $600 annual flexible-work allowance, medical, dental and vision coverage, a 401(k) match, 20 starting PTO days, and 13 paid holidays.

Instrumentl

Instrumentl is a remote-first software company that hires U.S. employees for sales, customer support, marketing, engineering, and other professional roles.

Its Inbound Sales Development Representative opening requires one year of sales experience or at least three years in another industry. The position targets a $65,000 base salary plus $25,000 in variable earnings and involves more than 400 calls per week; incentive earnings are not guaranteed.

Instrumentl lists employee health, dental, and vision premiums paid in full, a 401(k), paid time off, a company laptop, and a home-office stipend.

Vetcove

Vetcove hires full-time remote employees for customer experience, data, engineering, operations, and other work supporting veterinary clinics.

Its U.S.-remote Vet Clinic Support Associate opening requires one year of customer-facing experience and an associate or bachelor’s degree. The listed base-pay range is $50,000 to $80,000, with a separate $55,000 to $75,000 range for Colorado, plus possible bonus, equity, and benefits.

The work includes live chat, email, phone calls, and platform demonstrations. Vetcove also lists health coverage, an automatic 401(k) contribution, paid leave, and a home-office setup.

Bullhorn

Bullhorn hires employees in the United States and several other countries for software support, sales, account management, engineering, consulting, and corporate work.

Bullhorn describes its workplace as remote-first and lists employee health, wellness, and retirement benefits. Use the “Browse jobs” link on its site, then confirm the required location and whether the role is fully remote or hybrid.

Experience requirements vary. Many professional roles call for software, staffing, sales, or technical experience, while its early-career programs have separate requirements.

Medical, Education, and Other Specialized W-2 Jobs

These companies hire remote employees for healthcare, tutoring, and health-insurance support. Most require subject knowledge, healthcare experience, a license, or the ability to work a fixed school or medical schedule.

ProScribe

ProScribe hires W-2 medical scribes for onsite and virtual employee positions. Virtual scribes enter patient visits remotely, update electronic medical records, and prepare documentation for providers to review.

ProScribe offers paid training and generally requires at least a six-month commitment and two shifts per week. Its medical-scribe program is aimed at people pursuing healthcare careers, and the application process includes a typing test.

Virtual openings are not always available. Look for a posting specifically labeled virtual or fully remote, and check its approved states, experience requirements, schedule, pay, and equipment policy.

Littera Education

Littera Education hires part-time W-2 online tutors. Tutors work with K-12 students through Littera’s curriculum and virtual platform.

Its fall 2026 reading and math tutor opening specifically seeks availability Monday through Thursday, 5 to 8 p.m. Eastern. Applicants must live and work in one of the states listed in the posting.

The job pays an $18 base hourly rate, plus paid administrative time that brings compensation to $22.50 per tutored hour. Training, background checks, and required fingerprinting are paid.

You need relevant experience or strong subject knowledge, a personal computer with a camera, reliable internet, and a quiet workspace. Hours can reach 25 per week, but they vary with student enrollment and are not guaranteed.

CVS Health

CVS Health hires remote employees for Aetna customer service, pharmacy support, claims, appeals, prior authorization, care coordination, and Signify Health member outreach.

Some positions require only customer service or call-center experience, while others require healthcare knowledge, pharmacy experience, or a professional license. Many are limited to one state, and certain jobs require in-person training before employees transition home.

Pay and equipment vary by opening. CVS Health offers eligible employees health coverage, paid leave, retirement benefits, and other programs, but readers should confirm the requirements and benefits attached to the exact remote position.

How to Check Whether a Remote Job Is Really W-2

Do not assume that full-time hours, paid training, or benefits prove employee status. Look for the words “employee,” “W-2,” or “not an independent-contractor position” in the official job description, and ask the recruiter directly if the listing is unclear.

Apply through the employer’s official careers page. Never pay to apply, buy equipment from a recruiter, deposit a check for home-office supplies, or continue with someone who uses an unofficial email address.

Also check the approved states, work hours, phone requirements, equipment policy, and whether the position is permanent, seasonal, or tied to a particular client. Those details can matter just as much as the W-2 classification.

For more openings to compare, see my list of remote jobs with benefits.

A list of good companies gives you places to start, but it cannot guarantee that one of them is hiring in your state today. You may have to check many separate career pages before finding an opening that matches your experience and schedule.

Good luck!

A Faster Way to Search for Remote Employee Jobs

I think FlexJobs can make your search much easier. I have been a member myself, and I found it useful for searching remote jobs and learning about companies I might not have thought to check.

Every listing is screened before it appears, and FlexJobs says it excludes ads, scams, commission-only positions, and multi-level marketing opportunities. That is especially helpful when you are already spending so much time checking locations, schedules, qualifications, and employee classifications.

FlexJobs does include freelance and independent-contractor work, so you still need to read each description. Start with its full-time or part-time remote listings, then confirm that the employer will hire you as a W-2 employee before applying.

It is a paid membership, so keep that in mind, but it only costs $2.95 to check it out for 14 days.

Go here to search the screened FlexJobs listings and see what is available for you.
