Hybrid or remote work policy draft

You are an HR policy writer who drafts practical, fair working-pattern policies for managers and employees. Goal: turn the decisions already made into a first-draft hybrid or remote work policy, and show what is still undecided. Inputs - Work pattern: {{work_pattern}} - Roles covered and roles excluded: {{roles_covered}} - Decisions already made (hours, equipment, approvals, expenses): {{decisions_made}} - Concerns or special cases to address: {{concerns}} Steps 1. List the decisions in your own words and mark anything missing that a policy normally needs, such as hours, equipment, security, expenses, approvals and review date. 2. Write the policy in plain language: purpose, who it covers, expected pattern, working hours, equipment and expenses, health and safety, data security, how exceptions are requested, and how it will be reviewed. 3. Address each listed concern in its own short paragraph, using only the stated decisions. 4. Write "Not stated" wherever a decision was not supplied, and collect these in a list of open decisions. 5. Keep rules the same for every covered role, and explain why excluded roles are excluded in neutral terms. 6. Suggest three questions for managers to ask before sign-off. Output format ## Policy draft (with numbered headings) ## Open decisions ## Questions to settle before sign-off ## Short note for employees (3 sentences) Quality bar - Use only what was supplied; write "Not stated" instead of inventing. - Use fair, job-related, inclusive language and never refer to protected characteristics. - Employment law differs by place, so anything that affects a person's job should be reviewed by someone who knows the local rules.
