A work-from-home request form with availability, workspace and information security confirmations — and a prompt about the state-level tax consequences of working from a different state for long.

[COMPANY NAME]
WORK FROM HOME REQUEST

============================================================

Submit at least 1 day in advance, except in an emergency.

Employee:        [Name]          Employee number: [Number]
Department:      [Department]          Manager: [Manager]

REQUEST
From:            [Start date]     To: [End date]
Number of days:  [Days]
Working from:    [City and state]
Reason:          [Reason]

For a request longer than 30 days, or from a different state:

Note that working from another state for an extended period can create professional
tax and other state-level obligations. Human resources will confirm before approval.

CONFIRMATION BY THE EMPLOYEE
I confirm that:

   [ ] I will be reachable and available during core hours
   [ ] I have a suitable workspace and a reliable internet connection
   [ ] I can take confidential calls without being overheard
   [ ] I will follow the information security policy — device locked, no shared
       devices, no confidential work in a public place
   [ ] My commitments for this period are agreed with my manager

COVER ARRANGEMENTS
Anything that needs someone physically present, and who is covering it:

Employee
Name: [Name]
Signature: [Signature]          Date: [Date]

Manager approval
Name: [Name]
Signature: [Signature]          Date: [Date]

Human resources
Name: [Name]
Signature: [Signature]          Date: [Date]

The confirmations on this form are the ones a manager would otherwise have to ask about individually: reachability, a workspace that works, privacy for confidential calls, and the security rules that apply the same at home as in the office.

The state question is the one nobody thinks of. Working from another state for more than a month can create professional tax and other obligations the employer has not registered for.

Frequently asked questions

What should a work from home request include?
The dates, where you will be working from, the reason, confirmation that you will be available during core hours with a suitable workspace and secure setup, and what is covered for anything needing physical presence.
Does working from another state affect payroll?
It can. Professional tax is a state levy and labour welfare fund operates in a different set of states again, so an extended stay elsewhere may create registrations and deductions the employer does not currently have.
