Where is "Work from home" flagged in Veraset?

Hi!

I noticed this paragraph from the FAQ page for Veraset:

"How does Veraset determine a "Home" and "Work" location?
They use a multi-week look-back period of 6 weeks, analyzing day-over-day and week-over-week observations. Home is determined where a device spends a majority of time during typical home hours (7 PM - 5 AM) and work is determined where a device spends a majority of time during typical working hours (7 AM - 6 PM).

Note if work and home locations overlap for these hours the individual will be flagged as someone who potentially "works from home". In addition, big shifts for a device like a move can be detected."

However, I could not find a variable flagging "works from home" in the dataset. Could you please direct me to the variable? Or, if that variable does not exist, is there a way for me to tell whether each row in the work visits dataset is to the actual work location or WFH? Thank you!!
