Why Remote Work Policies Matter
Work-from-home arrangements raise a host of legal and logistical challenges—from wage compliance and privacy to reimbursement obligations and cross-state jurisdiction. A clear and enforceable remote work policy protects both employers and employees by establishing expectations and ensuring legal compliance.
Without a proper framework in place, companies can face:
Wage and hour violations
Expense reimbursement disputes
Workplace injury liability
Misclassification claims
Data privacy breaches
Unfair treatment or discrimination claims
Having a well-structured policy, created or reviewed by a remote employee policy lawyer, helps prevent costly litigation and keeps remote teams running smoothly.
Legal Issues Addressed by a Remote Work Policy
Our telecommuting attorneys help draft and revise policies that address the following key areas:
Eligibility and Approval Criteria: Who can work remotely, under what circumstances, and how requests are evaluated.
Work Hours and Timekeeping: Expectations for availability, overtime approval processes, and time-tracking mechanisms.
Expense Reimbursement: Compliance with California Labor Code Section 2802, which mandates reimbursement for necessary business expenses like internet, phone, and home office equipment.
Equipment and Technology Use: Responsibility for maintaining and securing company-issued devices.
Data Security and Confidentiality: Protection of sensitive data in remote work environments.
Performance Expectations and Supervision: Metrics and check-ins for tracking employee productivity.
Health and Safety: Addressing injury liability under workers’ compensation for remote injuries.
Cross-Jurisdiction Compliance: Managing legal exposure when employees work from different states or countries.
Return-to-Office Protocols: Conditions under which remote status may be modified or revoked.

California & Nevada Law: Key Remote Work Compliance Requirements
California and Nevada each impose specific legal requirements that affect remote work arrangements:
California
Labor Code Section 2802 requires reimbursement for all necessary business expenses.
Wage and hour laws apply to remote employees just as they do in-office, including break and overtime regulations.
The state’s anti-discrimination laws protect remote employees equally.
Workers’ comp can apply to injuries occurring in home offices.
Nevada
Like California, Nevada requires accurate time tracking and adherence to wage and hour laws.
While not as strict as California on expense reimbursement, best practices suggest employers cover necessary expenses.
Remote workers are covered by Nevada’s anti-discrimination and retaliation statutes.
In both states, employers must maintain accurate records and be cautious with policies that could appear discriminatory or retaliatory in remote work decisions.
