Remote and hybrid work policy
Governs work done away from the employer’s premises.
Governs work done away from the employer’s premises.
Cover eligibility and the approval process; hours, availability and the right to be unavailable; equipment, data costs and who bears them; the home workstation and the employer’s health and safety duty; information security and the acceptable-use overlap; supervision and performance measurement; and the notice required to change or end the arrangement.
Health and safety duties do not stop at the office door, and neither does POPIA — a household printer and an unlocked laptop are a processing risk the employer remains responsible for. If remote work has been in place long enough to have become a term of employment, changing it unilaterally is a change to terms and conditions, not a management instruction.
