Seasonal beach-town sites ignore the city's remote-work policy every summer, creating an unofficial third practice. Department heads say tourism season is different. What should HR do?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A quiet summer exception is still a policy—just an honest one the city never wrote. Either amend the enterprise remote-work rule for documented seasonality or enforce it. A third unofficial practice is how cities lose the plot.
Full Explanation
Shadow site practices must be formalized or retired. Seasonal beach operations may justify a written, time-bounded remote-work addendum, but ignoring the city policy every summer creates an unauthorized third regime. That regime is hard to defend, easy to expand, and unfair to sites that complied. Alignment means a conscious policy choice, not seasonal amnesia.
