Home Office / Remote Work Agreement
Regulate home office properly — as a voluntary supplementary agreement to the existing employment contract, deliberately lean rather than overloaded.
The home office agreement governs work in the home office or in a hybrid setting without changing the existing employment contract. The wizard steers the scope (fully remote, hybrid with fixed days, or hybrid by arrangement), the duration of the agreement itself (fixed-term or indefinite with a right of revocation — independent of the employment relationship), the reimbursement of costs for work equipment, and occupational-safety and data-protection duties at the home workplace.

For complex fields such as the scope of services or the purpose, you can request a suggestion via the sparkle button — the suggestion stays editable before it enters the contract.
Once created, you can hand the contract to a suitable lawyer from our network with one click — including full text and metadata.
This template does not replace a works agreement — if a works council exists, its co-determination rights regarding working time and technical equipment may apply. For home-office work abroad, we recommend legal review (social security, tax and permanent-establishment risks).
Our templates are ready-made documents that you adapt to your case. They are not legal advice and do not replace a review by a lawyer; we give no guarantee of correctness, completeness or up-to-dateness. Use is at your own responsibility.
