In light of the sudden remote work and telecommuting initiatives, we’re offering our remote work policies as free templates so that business owners can be in compliance with state and federal regulations around remote work.
You need these 2 policies at a minimum:
- Telecommuting Policy
- Bring-Your-Own-Device Policy
This policy governs remote work, and specifically, clarifies that it’s the worker’s responsibility to provide a safe working environment (i.e. a home office).
Otherwise, the employer could be liable for on-the-job injuries claims.
This policy governs how workers use personal equipment to do their jobs, which especially affects telecommute workers.
This policy covers things like data security, data privacy, and equipment reimbursements. Specifically, certain states (i.e. California) require employers to reimburse certain expenses for telecommute workers. This policy gives you the reimbursement formula based on 8hrs/day.
