Homeworker Agreement
This Homeworker Agreement is designed to be used where either a new or existing employee has agreed that their main place of work will be elsewhere than the Employer’s office, or in any event in a location which is not under the control of the Employer.
Employers must provide workers and employees with a written statement of their main terms and conditions of employment and this is often known as a Standard Form Section One Statement.
Employers may find that employing staff as Homeworkers considerably reduces their overheads whilst employees are given a greater freedom and the opportunity to work in more comfortable surroundings.
This agreement is drafted to ensure that Employers meet all of their legal obligations to their employees whilst ensuring that the work they receive is still of the standard that they might expect if the employee was in a more controlled environment.
There is a unique ‘Right to Enter’ clause which entitles the employer to enter the employee’s premises at reasonable times in order to inspect company property, carry out risk assessments, and recover company property following termination of employment. Another clause sets out any equipment the company will provide to the employee, how it should be installed and serviced and also covers insurance aspects. There is also an expenses option which sets out reimbursement of pre-approved expenses or alternatively a fixed monthly allowance to cover expenses.
