Remote work policy: simple guide
Start date
This policy starts on 1 October 2026.
Who may apply
You may ask to work remotely for up to two days in each calendar week if:
- you have worked for the company for six months in a row;
- your role is on the eligible list; and
- your manager approves your schedule in WorkBase before your first remote day.
Approval is discretionary. This means your manager may decide whether to approve the request. Approval is not an entitlement. This means it does not give you a permanent right to remote work.
Important limits
- The company may pause remote-work requests during a declared business-continuity event.
- You must still follow all data-classification and secure-access requirements.
- This policy does not cover work outside your registered country. That work needs a separate written review.
Existing arrangements
An informal arrangement does not continue automatically. It must be reviewed by 15 October.
Review time
The company expects to review most complete requests within five working days. This is an expectation, not a guarantee.
See Information Security Standard IS-12.
Glossar: „calendar week“ bezeichnet eine benannte Woche im Kalender; „business-continuity event“ bezeichnet ein nach der Ausgangsrichtlinie förmlich erklärtes Ereignis. Abdeckungsprüfung: Berechtigung, Verfahren, Ermessensentscheidung, Grenzen, Länder, Daten, bestehende Vereinbarungen, erwartete Prüfzeit und IS-12 sind vollständig erhalten. „Business-continuity event“ bleibt als genauer Begriff bestehen, weil eine Ersetzung den Auslöser verändern könnte. Es wurden keine Kontaktstelle, Folge, Kriterien oder Sicherheitsanweisungen hinzugefügt.
