Why remote work needs a written policy
Remote and hybrid work arrangements create ambiguity that written policies resolve. Without clear guidelines, you get inconsistent application of rules, misunderstandings about expectations, and potential legal exposure around health and safety obligations for home working environments.
What this template covers
- Eligibility — Which roles are eligible for remote or hybrid arrangements
- Core hours — When employees must be available regardless of location
- Equipment — What the company provides and what employees are responsible for
- Security — Requirements for secure home working environments
- Expenses — What costs the company will and won't reimburse
- Performance — How performance is measured for remote employees
- Health and safety — Employee obligations for their home working environment
Implementing the policy fairly
Apply your remote work policy consistently across your team. Inconsistent application — where some managers allow more flexibility than others — creates resentment and legal risk. Make the criteria for remote work eligibility objective and transparent.
