Dear Colleague Welcome to HSBC Bank - HSBC careers site

equirements. Although the general mobility requirement is dependent on grade, the
bank’s requirements under any business recovery plan (see paragraph 1.9.4) apply to all
grades.
Employees whose work location is stated as “home” in their offer letter are also
covered by these requirements.
Some employees may have the option of working from home from time to time by
mutual agreement in line with business needs. However, this arrangement is noncontractual
and the employee’s base remains as stated in their offer letter.
1.9.1 Senior Management
If you are a senior management band employee you may be required to work at or from
any office, branch or location of the bank or within different companies of the HSBC
Group (as defined at paragraph 1.24) in the UK or Offshore Islands. A change of your
place of residence may be required from time to time at particular stages of your career.
In addition there may be some roles where there is a requirement to work outside of the
UK or Offshore Islands. There may also be roles where occasional overseas travel is
necessary, and in such situations, personal and domestic circumstances will be taken
into account.

In addition there may be some roles where there is a requirement to work outside of the

the UK if you are employed in the UK) within reasonable travelling distance of your
existing location or your home. What is deemed a reasonable journey will depend on a
number of circumstances that will include normal travelling time and public transport
availability.
1.9.4 Business Recovery Plans
The bank has business recovery plans in place in the event of a major disaster taking
place and the working environment being compromised. Depending on the nature and
longevity of the disaster and the nature of the role you are carrying out at the time, you
may be identified as a key member of staff. If you are identified as such, you may be
contacted and expected to report for work at a different site, for a temporary period, to
recover from critical business disruption.
