The incidence of formalised teleworking

The Sensis ® Business Index found that employees and businesses were much more likely to enter into informal teleworking arrangements. Of those SMEs that had employees teleworking, only nine per cent had entered into formal arrangements with their employees, with 87 per cent reporting informal arrangements and four per cent being unsure as to what arrangements were in place.

Formal agreements were most likely to be in place in the Australian Capital Territory (18 per cent) and in medium sized businesses (14 per cent). Businesses in Western Australia reported the lowest usage of formal teleworking agreements (two per cent).
