"Work at satellite offices: 8 days per month"
I researched the above suggestions in Google. It seems to me that "satellite service" is used mostly for broadcasting. Also, I could only find 14 examples for "satellite duty", most of which do not fit the context.
It seems that "satellite office" is a general term for a office remote from the main office.

It's sometimes difficult to gain proper meaning of Japanese-English, isn't it?"

You could also say \"Satellite office duty\", which might sound better.

Working at a (company's) satellite office
ここ数年通勤時刻の解消、社員の自主性の発揮、近距離の｢住勤」環境等を目的として、多くの会社が小規模なサテライトオフィスを設置して、数人からせいぜい十数人の社員が変わり交代勤務するという制度ができました。 Googleには5000件ぐらい載っています。ちなみにIBMは10箇所以上のサテライトをうんえいしています。(稀に、在宅勤務にも適用されますが、例外です。）

This started in the US and other countries first. So, looking at ¥"working at satellite office¥" we find 650,00 entries. (Not to be confused with earth satellites.)http://www.energy.state.or.us/telework/telehm.htm

Local Office Placement or Home Business or Residential Placement
日本語英語で言う「サテライト・オフィス」での勤務の場合は： Local Office Placement
在宅勤務の場合は： Home Business or Residential Placement
在宅勤務の場合は： Home Business or Residential Placement
7 hrs
telework
My immediate reaction was "telework", meaning work from somewhere outside the main office, often from home.
