Telecommuting involves a regular work-at-home or remote-access arrangement for all or part of the workweek. An employee will not be allowed to telecommute when:
- The nature of the job requires the employee to be onsite,
- The job duties cannot be performed efficiently from a remote location,
- The employee does not regularly demonstrate high levels of performance and productivity, or
- The employee requires close supervision or interaction with other employees.
Employees who are allowed to telecommute must maintain high standards of performance and a regular work schedule. Any telecommuting arrangement will begin on a trial basis for the first 3 months, and may be discontinued, at will, at any time by request of either the telecommuter or the organization. Employees who work off-site will be held to the same terms of employment as onsite employees and will also be required to:
- Maintain equal productivity with in-office workers, where applicable;
- Keep an accurate account of both work hours and work completed in those hours;
- Refuse personal visitors during work hours and arrange for daycare or elder care services if applicable;
- Be responsible for any company property, including equipment, materials, and intellectual property used off-site;
- Remember that they are representatives of the company regardless of working location; and
- Maintain a workplace that is free from recognized hazards and that complies with all occupational safety and health standards, rules, and regulations.
