Make your Free Work from Home Policy

Working from home can bolster productivity and lower organizational costs for employers. Simultaneously, employees can enjoy benefits like greater flexibility and the elimination of a long commute.

If you have questions about employment law during the coronavirus pandemic, ask a lawyer or find additional resources in our Coronavirus (COVID-19) Legal Center.

Use the Work from Home Policy document if:

• You are an employer who would like to allow an employee to work from home
• You are an employer who would like to clearly define an employee's responsibilities while working from home

A Work from Home Policy clearly defines the expectations and responsibilities of employees who work from home. This document will cover details such as who is eligible to work from home, the process for requesting a work from home arrangement, and the approval process.

Not every employee will be capable of working from home. Typically, positions requiring face-to-face interaction with customers and office personnel do not meet work from home requirements.
