Practice question
A program permits telecommuting but says nothing about data security, device breakdowns, workplace safety, duration, or grievance handling. Management says a one-line permission is necessarily complete because the rules prescribe no relevant content. Which response best applies DO 237-22?
- The assertion is correct because all program content is legally irrelevant
- The program should address the reasonably necessary or relevant matters listed in section 6, including these subjects, and must reflect evidence of voluntary agreement
- Only the font and page count matter
- A single sentence always makes notification unnecessary
- The employer may replace every safety and privacy requirement with an employee disclaimer
