About the Remote Work Approval Letter
A remote work approval letter confirms that a request to work remotely — fully or partly — has been approved, and states the arrangement's duration and any conditions attached, without changing the employee's role, department, or reporting line.
Issue it once a remote-work request has actually been approved, so both sides have a written record of the arrangement's terms and how long it runs.

Sample content
This letter confirms approval of your request to work remotely, effective 1 April 2026.
Under this arrangement, you will work in a hybrid pattern, combining remote work with in-office days as agreed with your manager.
This arrangement is approved until 30 September 2026, after which it will be reviewed.
Frequently asked questions
Should a remote work arrangement have an end or review date?
It's a good practice even for an open-ended arrangement — stating a review date keeps the arrangement from being treated as a permanent, unchangeable entitlement, and gives both sides a natural checkpoint. Leave it blank only if you genuinely mean this to be indefinite.
What's the difference between the two variants?
"Fully remote" states the employee works remotely on all working days. "Hybrid" states a mixed pattern, agreed with their manager, without committing to specific days in the letter itself — useful when the exact split may vary week to week.
Does this letter change the employee's registered work location for compliance purposes?
No. If working remotely from a different state or country has tax, labour-law, or compliance implications for your organisation, this letter doesn't address those — check with your legal or compliance team before approving cross-jurisdiction remote arrangements.
