Outline a remote work policy

Provides a framework for fair, clear remote and hybrid work rules.

Lower risk: public info only — A policy outline is general and holds no personal data.

Please note: This site is only a guide to help people understand. Consult your IT, security and/or privacy department for clarification.

Before you start, gather

Name your location in [STATE OR COUNTRY]. Write [IN-PERSON EXPECTATIONS] from which roles truly must be on site. Afterward, compare the draft with your handbook and payroll setup. Then send it to an employment attorney.

Starter prompt

Outline a remote and hybrid work policy for [ORGANIZATION NAME] in [STATE OR COUNTRY]. Include who is eligible (remember some roles, like front desk or program delivery, must be in person), how volunteers are handled, expected hours, communication norms, equipment, data security, expense reimbursement, and in-person days: [IN-PERSON EXPECTATIONS]. Note where legal review is needed. Do not state wage, tax or safety rules as fact for [STATE OR COUNTRY]; mark them ATTORNEY CHECK instead of guessing.

Paste the prompt into your AI tool first, then replace the placeholders with your own details. Don't use real names of clients or donors.

Open an AI tool

You are leaving this guide. Copy the prompt first, then open a tool. The link goes to the website of the company named on each link, in a new tab. That company's terms and privacy policy apply there. Paste the prompt in, then replace the placeholders with your own details. Don't enter real names or confidential details.

Check the result

Have an employment attorney or HR advisor review it, since wage, tax and safety rules vary by location.

What it might get wrong

An overtime, expense-reimbursement or home-office safety rule stated as fact for your state. Eligibility that treats similar roles differently. A data-security promise your systems do not meet.
