About this template
Requests to work elsewhere usually arrive as a message that is missing at least one thing a manager needs to say yes: the dates, the timezone, or who covers anything that needs a person on site. This form asks for all three, so the answer can be a decision rather than a thread.
Timezone and overlap hours are the fields that actually decide these requests. Working from another country is rarely the problem, but a six hour gap with no stated overlap is, and putting it in writing turns a vague worry into something both sides can agree on and revisit later.
The setup checklist doubles as a duty of care record for anyone working away from an office you control. Remove the end date if all your arrangements are permanent, or make it required if you only ever approve fixed periods.
Templates are a starting point, not legal or professional advice. Where a form carries consent, medical, or contractual wording, have somebody qualified review it against the rules that apply to you before you publish.

Frequently asked questions
- What should a remote work request form ask?
- The type of arrangement, the dates, where they will be working from, the timezone overlap, and how the work gets covered. Location and timezone are what most requests forget.
- Why does the location matter?
- Because working from another country can change tax and employment obligations for the employer, not just the employee. Asking on the form is how you find out before it becomes a problem.
- Can managers approve on the form?
- The form captures the request and the named manager. Route it to them in Slack and record the decision with the submission, which is enough for most flexible working policies.
