Does anyone actually know the policy for this? We’ve been hearing hours thrown around for quite some time now but no actual solid information. Anyone know more on this?

@r8+1jvcz1m1z I hope this is made up because them designating hall monitors is a little too apropos
"How would they track the hours in the office, you swipe your badge only upon entering the building. Nobody care if you left the building"
Well to add to the person who already responded, you'll soon be getting an onsite manager who will be expected to monitor your ins and outs. Is that caring enough?
The can tell how long you were connected to the office internet.
How would they track the hours in the office, you swipe your badge only upon entering the building. Nobody care if you left the building.
You doing only 3 days at office and McD allowing you to work only 2 day shift is not the issue.
At BNY the 3 days is an arrangement and not a contract or employment agreement. May be if you had graduated high school and can read , you may have understood before you signed the dotted line.
Just as a FYI and life time lesson - no offering entity will put anything in writing where it can be taken to the cleaners. The contracts always are worded , the employment offer letters are mile long for a reason, with all the disclaimers and riders and exceptions, in the firms favor.
They have an army of lawyers in their payroll for a reason. And they are not GED grads
None of these bogus claimers will post their contract - even made up ones - sections that would explicitly state for at will FTEs
- Only 3 days work
- Only 35 hrs / week work
- Monthly match for 401k
- HR policies spelled out like vacation accrual, monetization, sick days, medical / dental coverage etc etc
In any contract they hide behind - current policies and that the policies can be amended at their discretion. Either the dimwits here do not know how to read their contract - may require higher than GED certification - or blatantly spewing lies
If these guys hold these contracts, written promises (even if spelled out without the disclaimer and overrides ) they would have taken these to the lawyers and asked for remediation. The fact they DID/DO NOT shows we have a whole slew of loser Pinocchios
I worked 3 days in office for 8 years at this dump
Haven’t been full-time in the office for about 15 years at any place I worked
But again, you have no idea what’s going on here because you don’t work here… You just troll the site- claiming to be some sort of exceptional achiever when you were very average at best as you admitted
I call BS on your contract stating 3 days previously. I bet it will say Monday to Friday unless you were part time.
If you really believe 3 days was contractual, I call your bluff, go sue them for breach of contract.

What a silly comment… They have reduced a number of things that was in my “ contract”
Example, being now they only match my 401(k) at the end of the year instead of each pay
Increased my hours from 37.5 to 40
Require a months notice when quitting
No longer pays you out unused vacation time when you’re leaving
Four days in office now instead of three
I could go on and on, but you know all of this 42… You’re just an agitator who no longer works at this dump, but acts smug like a little punk
What a silly comment... So because you're salaried, it shouldn't be expected for you to come into the office which is written in your contract?
Would you have a problem if they didn't provide in full, what was agreed to you, like pay you less or reduce your vacation allowance?
The working together policy FAQs states that on in office days you need to work your normal working hours. Here in Manchester, UK, we have told our teams they must do the whole day unless manager has agreed can leave early/start late. We have a 35 hour week contract in Manchester (work 7 hours per day and get 1 hour for lunch) - although I end up working several hours more.
They aren’t as savy as you think. In Lake Mary they don’t know what effing building half the people are assigned to. Most of the team is assigned to one building and working in the other. Once they do figure it out and realize there’s not enough seats for the team they are gonna scratch their heads and say welp, guess we need more Indians
So glad I am no longer at BNY.. at a competitor now and they don't track here. The whole tracking thing is ridiculous if you ask me and very "childish" As bad as companies who track your keyboard movements to see if you are working. Really is ridiculous. I think you would know as a corporation if I was doing my job or not by the clients. If clients called to consistently complain, prob means that person needs help or should be terminated. Come on BNY, get rid of this childish tracking. And considering I was salaried, expecting me to be in office certain hours just to do team meeting that I could do at home? waste of time.. Move into the modern age BNY
My “ contract” says 37.5 hours… Not 40
And when I was hired, it was for three days in office and two at home…
Not sure about a policy but why would they need one when you there is a contract which you signed showing your working hours per day? Just do the hours you agreed to and you should have no trouble.
This is in no means for certain but this is what I’ve pieced together between what I’ve heard from Managers both in person and pieced together information on this site.
I believe they’re not tracking to see how many hours somebody’s coming in.… Just that they’re coming in
That being said, 💯 believe that if they’re looking to get a documentation trail to get rid of you, whether it be due to P-M model wave reductions or they actually believe you’re a bad employee, they’ll pull the hours you’re connected to the system in office and use that as evidence to not give you severance on the way out
I do know of one person at my location that was let go about six months ago who was swiping in the correct amount of times, but never connecting to the system - somebody else was swiping his badge for him.
I typically do 4.5 hours 1 day and a full day in once a week since I’m “flex agile”, haven’t heard anything.
They fired people in EU location who came in for 2-3 hours
My profile says 40 hours per week. No “per day” requirement.
They won’t post an exact figure because then you have a measurable goal. Keeping it vague allows them to pick and choose enforcement.
They’re not systematically enforcing hours. The amount of resources they’ve already wasted on tracking is wild..
Haha! That's too funny 😁
Happy Friday peeps!
🤣
That’s exactly what it feels like, a prison!
I'm usually in for 4.5 - 5 hours and have heard nothing about it. I don't really care at this point. I can't wait to quit and spend my last two weeks at home while I watch the tracker turn red and sirens go off as HR sends out an escaped prisoner alert.
