What you will get

A plain-language remote and hybrid policy with eligibility, core hours, availability, communication norms, equipment and expenses, security basics, office days and how performance is judged, plus a one-page staff summary.

Common mistake

It includes legal claims for the wrong country.

Fix: Name the country and states where your staff live, and have HR or a lawyer check tax, insurance and working-time sections.

Also watch for

Performance is measured by hours online. Ask for measures based on outcomes, such as goals met and response times agreed with the team, not green status dots.
Expenses are open-ended. Give a real budget or a list of what you will pay for, such as a chair and internet costs, so there is no argument later.

Try a variation: make it a short FAQ

Ask for the policy as 12 questions and answers that staff actually ask, such as “Can I work from another country for a week?”

Still not right? Reply with this

Add a short draft notice to send with the policy, inviting questions for two weeks, and a review date three months after it starts.
