Answer to the LA Times crossword clue Professionals Who Work From Home About a Quarter of the Time? featured in the LA Times puzzle is UMPS.
"UMPS" is a playful reference to umpires in sports, particularly baseball, who work from home plate for about a quarter of the time during a typical game. In baseball, umpires rotate positions throughout the game, with one umpire stationed at each base (first, second, and third) and one umpire at home plate.
The umpire at home plate is responsible for making crucial calls regarding balls, strikes, and other aspects of the game directly related to the batter and the pitcher. The phrase "professionals who work from home about a quarter of the time" humorously alludes to this rotation, implying that umpires spend approximately 25% of their time at home plate during a game.
