Who can work remotely Remote work is open to all employees whose job can be done away from the office, after their probation period . It depends on the job: some roles need someone on site, and the manager decides, with the People team, whether a role can be done remotely. Remote work is a way of working agreed with the company and it does not change an employee's contract, pay or other terms unless this is agreed in writing. ## 3. How much, and where Employees may work remotely up to three days a week, with at least two days in the office . They may work from their home in the country where they are employed, or another place agreed in writing in advance .
