Employee Remote Work Policy and Agreement
Time Worked

remotely _ (every day, M/W/F, every other Friday, etc.) during your assigned hours.
Non-exempt employees must follow all applicable policies including, but not limited to, meal and rest breaks,

Equipment and Expenses
We will provide our remote employees with equipment that is essential to their job duties, like laptops, headsets
and cell phones (when applicable.) We will install VPN and Company-required software when employees receive
their equipment. If equipment is not available and employees use their own equipment for work, the Company will
reimburse the employee for that use, consistent with legal requirements and this policy.
Equipment that we provide is Company property. The Company retains control over the property and reserves the
right to monitor Company property even when used at your remote location. Employees must keep it safe and
avoid any misuse. Equipment supplied by the Company is to be used for business purposes only. The remote
worker will sign an inventory of all Company property received and agree to take appropriate action to protect the
items from damage or theft. Employees must take proper measures to secure Company information, assets and
systems.
Specifically, employees must:
•
Keep their equipment password
protected
•
Store equipment in a safe and clean
space when not in use
•
Follow all data encryption, protection
standards and settings
•
Refrain from visiting untrustworthy or
suspicious sites.
•
Only download authorized software with
prior approval.
•
Keep confidential information in locked
file cabinets and desks.
Remote employees will also receive expense reimbursement to cover reasonable and necessary business related
expenses that are incurred (e.g. internet, shipping costs). The Company may reimburse a portion of homeowners’
insurance coverage when required by the Company to protect equipment. Follow our expense reimbursement
policy in terms of required documentation. Please speak to with any
specific questions about our reimbursement policy.
Upon termination of employment, all Company property will be returned to the Company, unless other
arrangements have been made.
