Update to remote work charter to clarify expenses wording

Sarah Rogers requested to merge sarahrogers-main-patch-ba99 into main

Why is this change being made?

Following queries from TMs in France, this updates the remote work incurred expenses wording in the remote work charter for France to clarify that the allowance amount of €57.20 is incorporated into our current process for managing expenses and reimbursement via our expensing tool (Navan). Provided that team members are expensing at least this amount on a monthly basis for remote work expenses (wifi etc), then they are effectively receiving the 'allowance'. The URSSAF requires careful management of this expense reimbursement to ensure that remote work incurred expenses above this amount are not paid without due justification of professional need/requirement, so that expenses are exempt from social security contributions and income tax withholding. We require receipts for all expenses as part of our policy, so expenses should remain exempt.

CHANGEME - add the details saying why, not just what.
