Approval should confirm the arrangement does not reduce team coverage or output. For recurring remote work, always set a review date so the arrangement can be adjusted if needs change.

How to use this template
- Employee submits the request. Specify the days, duration, and reason, then confirm your home setup and availability.
- Manager reviews. Check the arrangement fits the role and team coverage, then approve, adjust, or decline.
- Set a review date. Agree a check-in point for recurring arrangements so the setup keeps working for both sides.
Frequently asked questions
What should a work from home request include?
The days requested, whether it is one-off or recurring, the reason, and confirmation of a suitable home setup. A clear request lets a manager assess coverage and approve quickly rather than going back and forth.
Should remote arrangements be reviewed?
Yes. For anything recurring, set a review date so both sides can confirm it is still working. Roles, team needs, and performance change, and a scheduled check-in avoids an arrangement quietly drifting.
Does this replace a remote work policy?
No — it complements one. The form handles individual requests; a policy sets the company-wide rules on eligibility, equipment, and security. Use the form within the framework your policy defines.
