Document background
A Work From Home Offer Letter is used when companies wish to formally extend employment opportunities that primarily involve remote work arrangements. This document has become increasingly important in the Australian business landscape, particularly since the global shift toward remote work. It serves as both a formal job offer and a framework for the remote working relationship, incorporating essential elements required by Australian employment law while addressing practical aspects of remote work. The letter typically includes details about compensation, benefits, work hours, equipment provisions, and specific remote work policies. It needs to comply with the Fair Work Act 2009, relevant Work Health and Safety legislation, and other applicable Australian employment laws. This document is particularly relevant for organizations adopting permanent remote work policies or hiring employees who will primarily work from home.
