Whether the work of an employee is being performed ``in or about a
home,'' so that he may be considered a homeworker, must be determined on
the facts in the particular case. In general, however the phrase ``in or
about a
home'' includes any home, apartment, or other dwelling place and
surrounding premises, such yards, garages, sheds or basements. A
convent, orphanage or similar institution is considered a home.
