Remote Work Agreement
This Agreement is made on Effective Date between Employer Name ("Employer") and Employee Name ("Employee"), Job Title. It adds to Employee's existing terms of employment and does not change their at-will status, pay or benefits.
1. Arrangement
Starting on Start Date, Employee will work remotely Remote Days or Fully Remote from Home Work Address and State. Employee will tell Employer in writing, and get approval, before moving or working from another state or country, since that can affect taxes and which laws apply.
2. Hours and Availability
Employee's core hours are Core Hours and Time Zone. Employee must be reachable by Contact Methods during those hours and will attend in person when reasonably asked, about In-Person Frequency.
3. Timekeeping
If Employee is non-exempt, they will record all time worked, take required breaks, and get approval before working overtime. All time worked will be paid, including overtime, whether or not it was approved in advance.
4. Equipment and Expenses
Employer will provide: Equipment Provided. Employer's equipment is for work and must be returned when this arrangement or employment ends. Employer will reimburse these work expenses: Reimbursed Expenses, and any others state law requires, on receipts sent within Expense Days days.
5. Work Space and Safety
Employee will keep a safe, suitable work space, and will report any work-related injury to Reporting Contact as soon as possible. Workers' compensation applies as state law provides. Employee handles any home insurance matters and any zoning limits on their home.
6. Security and Privacy
Employee will use the company VPN and strong passwords, keep devices locked, stop others from viewing or using company data, and report any loss or suspected breach to Security Contact at once. Employer may monitor its own equipment and accounts as the law allows, so Employee should not expect privacy in them.
