Homeworking and hybrid working
This note outlines the issues relevant to homeworking and hybrid working (also known as agile working, remote working, split-working or blended working arrangements or patterns) where working time is split between the workplace and a remote location, such as the home. It sets out the benefits, drawbacks and the practicalities that need to be addressed in the event that an employer engages homeworkers or hybrid workers, or accedes to an existing employee's request to work (full-time or part-time) from home. It also considers the issues that arise when an employee makes a request to work from home and the rights and protections afforded to such employees.
