Questions
Does this replace the employment contract?
No. It supplements the contract and records the homeworking arrangement.
Can I end the arrangement later?
The agreement lets you vary or withdraw it on written notice if performance or business needs require, with 4 weeks suggested.
Who pays for equipment?
You choose. The agreement lists what the employer provides and whether it contributes to home office costs.
Is this the same as the Remote Work Contract Addendum?
No, they are separate products. This agreement is a standalone document; the addendum is sold separately and is in the Employment Complete Bundle.
