A signable remote work policy covering availability windows, workspace standards, security, and expenses, ending with an employee acknowledgment. Use it to set clear expectations before someone starts working remotely.
This document sets out the remote work policy of Company name (the "Company") and records your agreement to follow it. It applies whenever you perform work away from a Company office, whether from home or another approved location. Please read it in full before signing.
This policy applies to every employee and contractor who works remotely, whether occasionally, part of the week, or full time. Remote arrangements are approved by the Company based on the needs of the role and may be adjusted or withdrawn if those needs change. Approval of a remote arrangement for one period or position does not guarantee approval for another. If your role requires occasional on-site presence — for planning sessions, client meetings, or team gatherings — the expected cadence will be agreed with your manager and communicated with reasonable notice.
Your primary remote work location is Primary remote work location. You are responsible for keeping that workspace safe, reasonably quiet, and suitable for focused work. At a minimum it should include:
If you plan to work from a different location for an extended period, tell your manager first, since it can affect scheduling, security, and tax or legal obligations.
Working remotely does not change your goals, quality standards, or deadlines. You are expected to communicate proactively, surface blockers early, and make your progress visible to your team. Your manager may agree on additional check-ins to keep collaboration flowing. Recurring one-on-ones and team rituals apply to remote workers on the same footing as anyone working on site.
The Company may update this policy from time to time to reflect operational, security, or legal needs. Material changes will be communicated to you, and you may be asked to sign an updated acknowledgment.
I, Employee full name, confirm that I have read and understood this remote work policy, that I had the opportunity to ask questions about it, and that I agree to follow it while working remotely. I understand that this acknowledgment does not change the other terms of my employment or engagement.
