Does anyone know if RTO reporting will include number of hours worked in the office? If so, is that something that will be a factor, or is the primary focus just on getting people in 3 days a week?

The head of HR Data Analytics has been asking this question and not getting answers. Most locations don't require you to 'badge out' so there's no way to consistently apply any standards. There are also multiple errors with the way data is collected that have to be corrected. One member of my team got called out by our manager for not coming in three days one week. She hadn't but claimed she did so they took her word for it. She got no punishment at all.
Lots of misinformation here. I am a manager and have the report and the guidance we were issued. As other have said its badge swipes and/or ip address, but your have to be in the office a minimum of 6 hours (that logged in), otherwise its not counted. Managers have been told that if people leave after 6 hours and then log in via vpn from home, that is absolutely fine.
I heard that they're having some kind of problem with the reporting of all this, and they don't know if the numbers they're getting are correct. There is general opinion that the numbers are not right and that something needs to be fixed. Just passing along what I overheard.
I feel that I am from an underserved community so have decided I will not be doing RTO.
Since we don’t have assigned desks, I usually left the office around 6 hours. I don’t feel comfortable leaving my computer when I go to lunch and don’t want to haul to lunch. If I did take it with me, I was always afraid someone would go to my desk and take it even though it wasn’t clean. What do other people do? This is why I want to know how long we have to be in the office each day.
Number of hours in the office may not currently be included in reporting but it is absolutely tracked by badge swipes and network login.
Number of hours in office are not part of the reporting. Only days in office and PTO are part of the reporting.
Whatever the case, I’m sure the “Executive Reporting” is done in excel pivot tables and ppt.
Friendly reminder to not spend a dime in the businesses around your office, whether or not you go or not.
They are not looking at hours per day. The reports show days in office per week. Not hours or locations. Some offices don’t even have swipe out ability and the reporting isn’t detailed enough for login time at a location.
6 hours a day might be the preferred official number of hours, but I do wonder if that will be taken into consideration for reporting purposes.
I’ve heard 6 hours a day minimum which is logical. Equals 30 hours a week which is what is required to be considered “full time” and maintain health insurance. Ive heard 32 hours a week also for maintaining benefits. I haven’t dug into the benefits book.
all I know is as of now it is a combination of badge swipes and network logins, but one would think there would need to be some time element to keep people from swiping in, logging in, then leaving, but who knows. at some point they may also look at physical location as a way to force those who have a location closer to home but are assigned an office farther away from using the closer office.
as manager I wish I knew.
