When to use it.
Remote Work Policy is a five-page hybrid and remote working policy for a UK employer, set out as a controlled document with a number, version, owner, approval and review date. It covers purpose and scope, definitions, who is responsible for what, the three working patterns, the statutory flexible working request and its deadlines, hours and rest, working abroad, the home workstation and DSE self-assessment, information security, expenses and HMRC’s tax-free allowance, wellbeing, changing an arrangement and breaches. Every section opens with a one-line summary, and clauses are numbered so they can be cited.
