Proposal
In this section, give the employer the date for which you want to start work, from where, and why.

Example: I propose to begin telecommuting July 1, 2007 from my home to accommodate the XYZ Corp. by finishing the grants on which I work.

Duration
In this section, give the employer the duration this will occur and a reason if necessary.

Example: I propose a six month trial through December 31, 2005; but would like to finish the work on current projects that will conclude June 30, 2006.

Schedule
In this section, detail your plans for home office hours and make sure to identify the need to adjust time schedules due to time zone differences. Additionally, address any other travel that may be necessary.

Example: I will be available the same hours I am currently in the office. My work day would begin and end an hour later due to time zone differences. I will travel to XX per your request or for project necessity, as well as those conferences deemed necessary by the projects.

Allocation of tasks
In this section, address current project management or tasks you must complete or delegate over the next months. Explain how you plan to manage these activities and what accommodations may need made. Additionally, explain (in detail, if necessary) what other staff will need to be doing. Discuss any potential problems and solutions if any.

Example: All project management tasks can be performed through the use of distance technology. Timelines are set from the original project activity maps. I expect that all project activities will be completed on time and on budget.

Benefits to company
In this section, identify solid benefits to the organization. Make certain to put their needs at the forefront, not just your own.
