Document background
This Telework Agreement template is designed for use in the Philippines, specifically complying with Republic Act No. 11165 (Telecommuting Act of 2018) and its implementing rules. It should be used when establishing or formalizing remote work arrangements between employers and employees, whether on a full-time or partial basis. The document addresses critical aspects of remote work including workplace safety, data security, equipment provision, and performance monitoring, while ensuring alignment with Philippine labor laws and regulations. It's particularly relevant in the post-pandemic workplace environment where organizations are adopting flexible work arrangements as a permanent feature of their operations. The agreement protects both employer and employee interests by clearly defining responsibilities, expectations, and terms of the remote work arrangement.
