The majority of the work is research, with no real way to track how much work he is doing. One job might take 12 hours, and the next might take 2. Or maybe he'll say it took 12 when it took 2, because there's no way I would know any better!

How do you keep your outsourced labor honest and productive?

Many times what I will do is set them up with a computer at the office and PC to GO and make them work on that machine no matter where they are located. It is a bit slower than if they worked on their own computer but at least you can see how productive they are, monitor them etc
