Remote work arrangements were gaining momentum, but since the pandemic, the desire to perform work duties remotely has increased dramatically. A recent SHRM survey reported that 80% of employees would be more loyal to their employer if they had flexible work hours. If your organization plans to offer a flexible work environment, it is important to have a policy to address issues such as working hours, timekeeping rules, communication guidelines, use of technology, security protocols, virtual meeting etiquette, approval procedures, etc.
Warner can help develop a written remote work policy or revise your existing policy to make sure it complies with MIOSHA policy requirements. Our Labor and Employment Practice Group has created an “Employee Remote Work Policy.” This customizable template and the analysis tool are available for a fixed price of $250.
If you are interested in purchasing the Remote Work Policy template and analysis tool, please contact your Warner attorney, or Amanda Fielder at afielder@wnj.com or 616.752.2404.
