For the next few months I will be traveling extensively for work. I will definitely be home each weekend, but I would not be able to check my pool daily. Is there a weekly routine I can follow for cleaning/adding chlorine? I am not looking for the pool to be "perfect", I am just looking for it to be in decent shape so that it doesn't get ruined with algae or something. Appreciate any insight!
Can I service my pool once a week (instead of daily)?

you just will need to add enough fc to ensure you don’t fall below minimum for your cya before your next dose.
FC/CYA Levels
Your regular testing will need to be your guide - every pool is a little different with fc consumption which also is affected by uv exposure & other factors.
How are you currently testing (which kit)?
How are you currently chlorinating?

I get about 2 weeks between tests on my SWG. It takes a minute to learn, like anything else new, but once you get over the learning curve it's awesome.
Got a salt water generator? That's your best bet if you don't.
