Remote Work Policy (NY)

Remote working, or working from home, is not only possible, but sometimes necessary to keep a business running smoothly. It can be an important employee perk, or a way to maximize productivity during times when being in the office isn't feasible, such as when collaborating across time zones.

This Remote Work Policy lays out basic ground rules and expectations for remote workers, such as having a dedicated workspace, maintaining confidentiality, and adhering to designated work time. It can be customized to include if the company will provide equipment and information on permitted break time. There is also a place at the end for the employee to sign confirming that they have read and understand the agreement.

This policy should be reviewed in conjunction with your employee handbook and other existing employee policies to ensure there aren't any inconsistencies.
