With the right to request flexible working now extended to all employees, not just parents or carers, home working may well become more popular amongst employees seeking greater flexibility. As such, as well as utilising this agreement, it is advisable that employers have a Homeworking policy setting out how any requests by employees will be dealt with.
This template is drafted to ensure that employers meet all of their legal obligations to their employees whilst ensuring that the work they receive is still of the standard that they might expect if the employee was in a more controlled environment.
It is designed to be used where either a new or existing employee has agreed that their main place of work will be elsewhere than the employer's office, or in any event in a location which is not under the control of the employer.
This Homeworking agreement template incorporates relevant UK laws and HR standards, including those listed below:
A homeworking agreement should be distributed to employees and signed before they commence a period of homeworking.
