Work From Home (WFH)

‘’Work from home’’ is a form of telecommuting which allows employees to work remotely one day of the week specifically between Tuesdays and Thursdays. In order to obtain this benefit, the employee must have acquired the appropriate autonomous skills in the development of the functions he is responsible for, and will be allowed to apply for the benefit after the trial period.

All WFH requests should be directed by email to request@talosdigital.com and the employee’s team leader, and are subject to revision and subsequent approval.

Once the request has been approved, employees must meet the following conditions:

A workspace that complies with work health and safety regulations, with special attention to the employee’s self-care obligations. Please see link for further Information: Office ergonomics tips

Provide photographic evidence of the WFH space to HR.

Full availability via email, phone and slack, during regular working hours.

Evidence of an Internet connection with a minimum of 10 Mbps speed.

The physical workspace should guarantee a quiet environment for good quality communications such as phone calls and tele-conferences. The use of headphones is recommended.

During ‘’demos’’ or any other kind of milestones for projects, WFH will not be allowed.

Performance and productivity should not be affected negatively by the WFH benefits, as employees will continue to fulfill their usual responsibilities such as daily meetings and teleconferences, among others.

WFH days cannot be accumulated

PM/PO’s should notify HR when employees are failing to observe WFH conditions.

Daily housework activities aren’t related to the employee’s professional responsibilities, and therefore, they will not be considered causes of working accidents by the company.

Any working equipment or tools provided by the company should be kept in the home workspace, and shouldn’t be available to, or used by other people.

The consumption of alcohol or the use of illegal drugs are strictly prohibited during work hours.

The regular WFH location or ‘’base’’ will be the employee’s home. Any variation of this location will be considered a change of the WFH terms and conditions.

With the purpose of determining and verifying the health, ergonomics and safety conditions for the employee, among others, the company is entitled to pay home visits.

It is expected of the employee to take part in all studies, surveys, reports and analysis related to the development and maintenance of the WFH program.

Talos provides a subsidy for the safe and adequate transportation of the Company's equipment and tools required by the employee to work from home. The company will supply all necessary items to ensure ideal working conditions for employees, while expecting the employee to guarantee the confidentiality of the information managed during regular work activities.

At the end of their working contracts, all equipment or working items provided should be returned in the same operational and functional conditions as when they were handed to the employee, assuming responsibility for loss or damage, in case of fraud or negligence.
