Template Policy 28 - Temporary Homeworking

V1: March 2020

At the time of writing we are in the midst of a global coronavirus pandemic. As a result, on 23 March 2020 the government announced a "lockdown" for all UK residents, excluding those for whom travel for work is essential (essentially key workers).  This will lead to a significant increase in the number of people who are working at home. Some may be accustomed to working at home but for others it is an entirely new way of working.  At the same time, businesses will have to manage whole teams working remotely.  Meanwhile working parents have to try to home school their children whilst working. So, we have created this policy to help businesses and employees manage all of this.  

Please note that this policy applies to your internal employees only and not to any temporary workers you supply to clients. Unfortunately temporary workers do not any right to remain in a temporary assignment and to work from home.
