Person Working From Home Credit: Antonio Rodriguez/Adobe Stock

Any businesses that have employees working from home, i.e., telecommuting, should establish a written telecommuting policy and have the employee(s) sign off on that document to acknowledge receipt. The document should set out the framework and processes for the telecommuting assignment, the number of hours the employee is expected to work and how hours should be recorded. It should emphasize that employees cannot abuse the system to work overtime.
