Remote work agreement
A remote work agreement documents the terms of a remote or hybrid arrangement for an existing employee — work location, hours and availability, equipment, and the security practices expected while working outside the office.
When to use it
Use this when approving an employee to work remotely or hybrid, whether that's the default for the role or a specific accommodation — it sets clear expectations up front on availability and equipment, and makes clear the arrangement can be adjusted as business needs change.
What's typically included
- Arrangement (fully remote or hybrid)
- Work hours and availability
- Equipment and expenses
- Data security expectations
- Workspace requirements
- Performance expectations
- Terms for changing the arrangement
