This particular requirement that contractors cannot work from home had a purpose; so that full time employees have at least one advantage over contractors so that employees don't start asking to become contractors. Of course contractors get paid more so it makes no sense to be an employee... That's why companies need these odd rules; to artificially sweeten the worse deal... Even though there is no productivity benefit at all. It's all about exploiting psychology to keep costs down.
