Telework

Telework is a work arrangement whereby employees have a formal signed agreement with their employer to carry out some or all of their work duties away from the designated workplace (location of work where an employee would perform his/her duties if a telework arrangement was not in place).

Telework is one of several flexible work arrangements that may be considered within the context of the employer’s operational requirements and employee needs.
