Part III: How to apply for homeworking rights

1. You must have passed your probation period. Once you’ve passed your contractual probation period, we will consider any application that you make to us for homeworking. 

2. It’s best to discuss your intentions first

We strongly recommend that before submitting any request, you have a chat with your line manager OR HR department to explore the opportunity and any potential problems (such as an overlooked need to attend particular meetings or activities), that you might both identify for consideration and resolution before you make the more formal request. 

3. Our homeworking criteria 

3.1          You will need to demonstrate (both in any initial verbal discussion with your line manager OR HR department and in your subsequent written request) that you meet our criteria for homeworking, as follows:

a)       Your role is such that it can accommodate homeworking without compromise to:

i)        the quality of your productivity and output (i.e. you will need to have previously demonstrated an ability to self-motivate, to use your own initiative and to deliver expected and good quality results on time and according to plan)

ii)       the productivity of any other personnel who may rely on you performing your duties in order to successfully perform theirs, or

iii)     the health and safety of any White Label Crowdfunding Limited personnel or other workers providing services to us

b)      You are able to work effectively to compensate for any homeworking challenges, such as sudden internet or other utility outages causing disruption to your normal working environment

c)       You can be trusted to communicate with and report regularly to your line manager OR HR department and to interact responsibly and regularly with any other personnel who rely on you to manage your remoteness efficiently

d)      You agree to comply with the terms of this policy. 

3.2          This also means that your request is unlikely to be granted if, for example:

a)       your role and duties necessitate a physical presence on our premises (for example, you lead a team that requires a high level of interactivity with and support from you, or the equipment that you need to perform your duties can only be based on our premises)

b)      the nature of your role or your level of experience in relation to it is such that it is reasonable, if not necessary, to require you to work under the supervision of other on-premises White Label Crowdfunding Limited personnel

c)       you have not performed according to the required standards of work for your role, you’ve not achieved your targets, or you’ve have been issued with performance or other conduct-related warnings in the last 12 months
