1. Introduction
Homeworking on an occasional basis or to support agreed regular flexible working (staff will work regular ‘default’ hours from home), is a recognised flexible working practice which, in appropriate circumstances, can help staff balance their work and personal lives, achieve business objectives, and have a positive impact on the environment.
Homeworking involves using the staff member’s home as a base for work, on an occasional basis or an agreed work pattern, instead of the staff member coming into a recognised workplace.
