Upload your remote work contract. AI checks location terms, working hours, equipment costs, monitoring clauses, and return-to-office rights.
What TenderScan checks in your remote work contract:
What We Find
Critical risks our AI flags in remote work contracts
Work Location Ambiguity
Contract silent on where you can work remotely. Without defined locations, disputes arise over whether working from home, co-working spaces, or abroad is permitted.
Always-On Expectations
No defined working hours for remote work. Without boundaries, employers expect 24/7 availability — your contract should specify core hours and response time expectations.
Equipment & Internet Costs
Missing provisions for who pays for home office setup, internet, electricity, and equipment. Many contracts shift all remote work costs to the employee.
Monitoring & Privacy Clauses
Invasive surveillance terms allowing screen recording, keystroke logging, or webcam monitoring without clear boundaries or consent frameworks.
Data Security Liability
Clauses making you personally liable for data breaches while working remotely. Employer must provide secure systems — the worker should not bear breach liability.
Return-to-Office Clause
Unilateral right for the employer to revoke remote work with minimal notice. Your contract should specify notice periods and transition terms for returning to office.
Real Finding
We found “company reserves the right to require office attendance at any time with 24 hours notice” in 47% of remote work contracts analysed. This effectively makes remote work a revocable privilege, not a contractual right.
