The parties agree remote working provides opportunities for flexibility and efficiency around where, how and when work is conducted.\n(b) All employees who work remotely need to be flexible around attending important events in person. Leaders will endeavour to provide as much notice as possible where events are scheduled in advance and in person attendance is required. Examples of scenarios when in person attendance is required include:\n(i) important team meetings (e.g. annual strategy meetings and planning sessions);\n(ii) stakeholder engagement where face-to-face interaction provides better outcomes; and\n(iii) attending training that is hands on or only conducted face-to-face.\n(c) There are different scenarios for remote working at WaterNSW, including roles that:\n(i) require limited in-person attendance at an office or work site. Such roles predominantly include desk based or administrative duties;\n(ii) may have a hybrid approach to remote working, that is, some time in an office or worksite and some time working remotely. Reasons to come into an office or worksite may include:\n(A) to access better internet speed or to use equipment;\n(B) to meet with others to connect and collaborate;\n(C) build team relationships and interact as a team on site;\n(D) where a WaterNSW workplace provides the employee with a safer location for work; or\n(E) undertaking operational or field-based activities.\n(iii) WaterNSW may require individuals to undertake work mainly from a WaterNSW site or office such as:\n(A) undertaking operational or field-based activities;\n(B) leadership roles that need to be located near their teams and assets in order to fulfill the requirements of their role in a timely manner; or\n(C) conducting site and safety inspections.\n(d) Key principles to encourage the success of remote working arrangements include:\n(i) WaterNSW values informing decisions around remote working;\n(ii) safety is paramount around remote working \u2013 WaterNSW will provide appropriate support for employees to ensure they are physically and emotionally safe;\n(iii) clarity around expectations \u2013 employees and their leaders are encouraged to discuss the details of remote working and agree on arrangements and expectations at least once per year;\n(iv) mutual flexibility is key \u2013 individuals may be required to attend in person for certain activities, important events and meetings and should be available to collaborate with others as required;\n(v) communication and collaboration are important to maintain and enhance connectivity, engagement and productivity;\n(vi) leaders have an obligation to role model expectations and create a positive and inclusive working environment that empowers and develops their team; and\n(vii) ensuring data and information security and confidentiality requirements are met.\n(e) Leaders and employees will discuss and agree on remote working arrangements, where applicable, giving due consideration and clear expectations around the following:\n(i) what hours are going to be worked, start and finish times, and availability for collaboration.

Group adopted its first charter on remote working from home. This charter was revised on 6 November 2018 to take into account the experience gained and the emergence of new forms of work. The Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting lockdowns in 2020 accelerated the use of this type of organisation and made it possible to better understand its benefits and limitations. Teleworking or remote working - which is defined as any form of work organisation in which work, which could also have been carried out at the employer's premises, is carried out by an employee outside the employer's premises, at its home and in any other place authorised by the employer, on a voluntary basis, using mainly information and communication technologies - can enable a better balance between professional and personal life, in particular through a reduction in commuting times. In order to avoid possible negative consequences, including isolation, intensification of workload and working hours, or even an imbalance between personal and professional life, phenomena that may have repercussions on the physical and mental health of employees, remote working conditions must be well regulated. For the company, the organisation of services, quality, efficiency and the continuity of the work collective are priorities. Given this context, the parties agreed to make the use of teleworking conditional on compliance with the following principles, which guided the Group's entities in renegotiating their agreements after the pandemic: \u2022 The implementation of teleworking must be the subject of social dialogue and collective bargaining. The use of teleworking must be arranged for as a priority within the framework of a collective agreement with the trade unions, or in the absence of a charter drawn up by the employer in compliance with the information and/or consultation rules provided for by local law; \u2022 Eligibility for teleworking by profession/position continues to be defined by the employer and may be subject to specific conditions and/or restrictions determined within the entities and substantiated in particular by geographical, regulatory, material, operational or security considerations or for reasons related to the skills, performance and autonomy of the employee(s). In the event that teleworking cannot be implemented, local dialogue between the manager and the employee concerned must make it possible to provide the necessary explanations. \u2022 Barring exceptional circumstances that make it a necessity, remote working is based on the principles of (i) voluntary choice by both the company and the employee and (ii) reversibility; \u2022 In line with the applicable rules on total annual working time, the time spent at the company's premises must be greater than that spent outside the said premises in accordance with the local provisions governing teleworking. \u2022 Teleworking employees have the same rights and benefits and are subject to the same obligations as employees who carry out their work at the company's premises, in particular with regard to: o Trade union rights, staff representation, social dialogue and participation in professional/trade union elections3 o Employment, remuneration, training and professional development conditions o The duration and organisation of work, in particular the right to disconnect and the use of tools, particularly digital4 o Workload, objective setting, execution deadlines and performance review procedures o Cover for occupational accidents, sickness, death and provident insurance \u2022 The use of teleworking should not bring about job insecurity. \u2022 As teleworking is likely to entail risks specific to health and safety, measures designed to prevent them must be sought5. \u2022 The IT and communication tools required to carry out the activity are provided by the company. The employee must use them in accordance with their intended purpose, in compliance with the rules laid out by the company, particularly with regard to data security and confidentiality. \u2022 Any payment of costs related to teleworking could be an object of social dialogue in the entities. These principles must be followed and respected when setting up teleworking arrangements in each Group entity, in compliance with local laws.", "samples": [{"hash": "cCsxZPEiUGr", "uri": "/contracts/cCsxZPEiUGr#remote-working", "label": "Global Agreement", "score": 25.8843250275, "published": true}], "hash": "ac13eeb831f893e8e7009123d9ea762d", "id": 7}, {"snippet_links": [{"key": "remote-work", "type": "clause", "offset": [0, 11]}, {"key": "the-practice", "type": "clause", "offset": [15, 27]}, {"key": "job-functions", "type": "clause", "offset": [51, 64]}, {"key": "approved-location", "type": "clause", "offset": [97, 114]}, {"key": "the-environment", "type": "clause", "offset": [218, 233]}, {"key": "any-employee", "type": "clause", "offset": [235, 247]}, {"key": "request-to-work", "type": "clause", "offset": [328, 343]}, {"key": "written-request", "type": "clause", "offset": [369, 384]}, {"key": "the-employer-will", "type": "clause", "offset": [406, 423]}, {"key": "the-employee", "type": "clause", "offset": [433, 445]}, {"key": "request-in-writing", "type": "clause", "offset": [486, 504]}, {"key": "related-to", "type": "clause", "offset": [543, 553]}, {"key": "by-the-employer", "type": "clause", "offset": [599, 614]}, {"key": "an-agreement", "type": "clause", "offset": [695, 707]}, {"key": "work-environment", "type": "clause", "offset": [778, 794]}, {"key": "information-security-and-other-matters", "type": "clause", "offset": [801, 839]}, {"key": "employees-may", "type": "clause", "offset": [868, 881]}, {"key": "review-of", "type": "clause", "offset": [887, 896]}, {"key": "denied-request", "type": "definition", "offset": [899, 913]}, {"key": "human-resources", "type": "clause", "offset": [922, 937]}, {"key": "the-individual", "type": "clause", "offset": [966, 980]}, {"key": "modifications-to", "type": "clause", "offset": [1033, 1049]}, {"key": "an-employee", "type": "definition", "offset": [1050, 1061]}, {"key": "telework-agreement", "type": "definition", "offset": [1064, 1082]}, {"key": "performance-issues", "type": "definition", "offset": [1207, 1225]}, {"key": "steps-taken", "type": "clause", "offset": [1285, 1296]}, {"key": "will-work", "type": "clause", "offset": [1332, 1341]}], "size": 1, "snippet": "Remote work is the practice of performing required job functions from home or another management-approved location.
