Remote Work Request Form

Let employees request remote work — dates, frequency, reason and home setup — so managers can approve it consistently.

Description

A remote work request form gives employees a clear way to ask to work from home and gives managers a consistent basis to approve it. Instead of informal asks handled differently each time, every request captures the dates, the frequency and the reason — so decisions are fair, documented and easy to plan around.

It captures the employee’s name and work email, the requested start and end dates, the reason for working remotely and the frequency, and whether they have an adequate home office setup. A comments field adds any context, giving managers what they need to approve the arrangement with confidence.

Customize the fields to match your remote policy, restyle it in your brand colors, and embed it on your intranet so requests arrive ready to review.

Template FAQs

Common questions about the Remote Work Request Form — what it captures, when to use it, and how to make it your own.

What is a remote work request form?

It’s a form employees use to request working from home. It captures the dates, frequency and reason, plus whether they have a suitable home setup, so managers can approve remote work consistently and keep a clear record of what was agreed.

What does the form capture?

The employee’s name and work email, the requested start and end dates, the reason for remote work and the frequency, and whether they have an adequate home office setup. A comments field adds any context for the manager reviewing it.

When would it be used?

Whenever an employee wants to work remotely — occasionally, for a set period, or as an ongoing arrangement. Requesting through the form captures the detail managers need and creates a record, so decisions are consistent rather than made differently case by case.

Who is this form for?

Managers, HR and IT that handle remote work arrangements, and the employees requesting them. It suits any organization that wants remote requests captured and decided consistently, with a documented trail rather than a patchwork of informal agreements.

Why ask about the home office setup?

Productive, safe remote work needs a reasonable setup — a workspace, a reliable connection, the right equipment. Asking about it helps managers judge whether the arrangement will work, and flags anyone who might need support or equipment to do the job properly from home.

Is this form free to use?

Yes — it’s free. Create a Fun Forms account, customize the fields to match your remote policy, restyle it to your brand, and embed it on your intranet with no coding. Requests then arrive ready to review and approve.
