Hi Guys,
You Can also add "WORK FROM HOME POLICY" too if applicable to your existing policies.
The following points can be added/modified according to the requirement.
• Work from Home Option is available to permanent employees. Employees currently falling under probation period have no "Work from Home Option".
• Work from Home Option is only allowed to be taken when the situation at hand doesn't allow you to come to work under extreme situations.
• Its 2 days a month for all the Employees. Work from Home option is not carried forward every month like our normal leaves.
• It’s not a compulsory/mandatory that we need to use the 2 days every month.

Dear Vanathi,
This is my first blog on human resource managementhrmexpress where I share my knowledge and know-how. At the same time also share information from many other sources which would help my peers foray into new world of HRM under one roof. I would be profoundly obliged if travails endured by me helps team members seeking information.
Some Policies are updated, will soon publish the rest.
Happy Reading!!!
