Work from home attendance form
Home-working requests get declined for vague reasons and approved for vaguer ones. A form that names the dates, the work and the recording method removes most of the vagueness on both sides.
Questions people ask about this letter
Should a home day count against a leave balance?
That is a policy choice, and both models are in use. Decide it once, write it in the policy, and apply it the same way to everyone.
How does attendance get recorded for a day away from the workplace?
Where check-in runs on a terminal in the office, a home day produces no punch. It has to be recorded another way, which is why the form asks you to agree the method first.
Can a request be declined for one date and approved for another?
Yes, and often that is the right answer. The form has a line for it so the partial decision is recorded rather than negotiated twice.
