Working from home policy checklist
Make it Legal™ Checklist
Here are a few important steps to take to finish your document
Make the Working From Home Policy available to employees. You could, for example, include it in induction packs, send it out by email, put it on notice boards, hand it out in hard copy, or put it on an intranet site.
The Working From Home Policy is not a contract and does not need to be signed or agreed to by your staff. You can ask staff members to sign an acknowledgement to show that they received it, but it’s not legally required.
A copy of your Working From Home Policy will be stored automatically in your Rocket Lawyer account ‘Dashboard’. You should also download and securely store a copy of your Policy for your records.
Whenever the Policy is amended, keep a copy of each version that has been in force, a record of when it was introduced, and how and when each version was made available to employees.
