According to Forbes.com, 40% of American workers work remotely at least one day per week, including 12.8% that work full-time from home. 16% of all U.S. businesses have eliminated their physical headquarters in favor of remote work. By the end of 2025, more than one in every five American workers will work from home full-time.

The shift toward increased remote and hybrid work since 2020 has created new issues, challenges, and concerns for employers who currently offer these options as part of a talent retention and recruiting strategy. With the massive rise of remote and hybrid work during and after the global pandemic, businesses with remote workers (also known as “telecommuters” or “teleworkers”) have reported issues and challenges involving disengaged or under-productive employees, employees working in different jurisdictions, disputes over telephone and internet reimbursement, work-life balance issues, and confusion over labor law notification requirements for at-home workers.

To help employers effectively manage new and existing remote workers, Work Wise Compliance has introduced a comprehensive, digital Remote Worker Management Resources Bundle. This exclusive solution includes attorney-reviewed forms and critical information on remote worker onboarding, attendance management, labor law compliance, productivity & engagement tips for at-home employees and their managers, and offsite injury prevention. It includes white papers for managers plus onboarding and productivity forms for each remote or hybrid employee.

Features & Benefits Include:

Implementing the forms and notices included in this resource can also prevent common remote and hybrid worker disputes and issues that have occurred in the past or are likely to occur in the future. Documenting agreements regarding the location of work, the availability of digital labor law notices, the company’s productivity and availability expectations, at-home injury prevention, and company-issued equipment can also help employers show good-faith compliance with applicable laws and regulations in the event of a legal issue or work-related injury involving a remote worker.
