Build a practical HR policy that tells employees what is allowed, what needs approval, and where compliance checks are required before anyone books a trip to work from abroad (e.g. business travel, workations, international work assignments).

Clear rules
Define who is eligible, how long trips can last, and which destinations are allowed.
Approval flow
Set expectations for HR, managers, employees, and compliance stakeholders.
Risk checks
Spot immigration, tax, social security, insurance, and data-security questions early.
A quick reality check before rollout
The checklist helps HR review the core guardrails before a remote-work policy is published or updated: purpose and scope, eligibility and destination rules, approval flow, work organisation, IT and data security, plus cost and liability questions. It gives useful orientation without giving away the full policy structure.
What the checklist helps you define
Use it as a structured review before you publish your first policy, update an existing policy, or move from manual approvals to a clearer HR workflow.
Employee eligibility
Set fair criteria for who can work remotely, including tenure, role suitability, performance expectations, and employment setup.
Destination rules
Document which countries are allowed, restricted, or require additional review before the employee can travel.
Approval timing
Define when requests must be submitted, who approves them, and what information employees need to provide.
Compliance checks
Identify when to review immigration, social security, payroll, tax, insurance, and local employment-law questions.
Employee preparation
Clarify expectations for working hours, data security, equipment, emergency contacts, and proof of travel readiness.
Documentation
Keep request data, approvals, risk decisions, and policy exceptions in one auditable process.
