A remote working policy in Ireland sets out how your business deals with requests to work remotely. Employees now have a statutory right to request remote working. This template is a remote working policy for your business covering eligibility, how requests are made and answered, equipment, health and safety, data protection, working time and the right to disconnect, so that your process meets the WRC Code of Practice.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a remote working policy cost in Ireland?
The price of this self-complete template is shown at the top of this page. You pay once and there are no further charges from us. The price covers the template and guidance notes only — it does not include legal advice or review by a solicitor.
Do employees in Ireland have a right to work remotely?
Employees have a statutory right to request remote working, not an automatic right to work remotely. Employers must consider requests properly and respond in line with the law and the WRC Code of Practice.
What is the right to disconnect?
It refers to employees’ ability to switch off from work outside normal working hours. A remote working policy should explain how this is respected in practice.
