Does anyone have an actual answer as to how many hours you must be logged on to the network for it to "count" as an in-office day? At my site it seems Iike at least half of the people there leave for the day before lunchtime.

Too much thought wasted on such a petty issue.
This has been answered so many times on this site. I know folks in CPG and Finance who create the reports.
Here we go: It’s based on the badge in and out and you logging into the WF Wi-Fi. It’s a rolling three month report. You need to be logged into the Wi-Fi for 1 hour for the day to “count”. That’s it.
THE ACTUAL ANSWER THAT HAS BEEN POSTED HERE MANY TIMES IS:
WF is tracking your badge swipe into the office OR you hooking your laptop/logging in to the actual network, not your at home connection, that's it! In other words:
DID YOU SWIPE INTO AN OFFICE OR CONNECT TO AN ACTUAL WF NETWORK?
If the answer is yes, then you're fine, that day counts.
PLEASE STOP ASKING, WHEN TRACKING CHANGES THIS BOARD WILL LET YOU KNOW (or hopefully your manager)!
Great feedback,@msp+1lxuzIla, that's what I feared
I'm in coo and we're spinning our wheels on the same stuff, so no doubt others are too across the company.
I say feared because if you're a shareholder in addition to being an employee, it's instructive to understand that the enterprise resources include leaders dreaming up huge lists of scenarios to define a legit 8 hours, reporting teams building badge and network tracking to find the gotchas, and employees showing up and leaving whenever. Activities that might be important on some level, but meaningless otherwise for creating customer or shareholder value. And in true Wells fashion, it's practically guaranteed that we're all doing something that's mostly similar by business, but different enough to have multiple bureaucracies charging forward. Good times everyone
with exempt employees its a little more complicated as they could work 5 hours and it needs to count as a day. they look at badge swipe and a network connection. they aren't current tracking how many hours you are on the network as that can fluctuate for any number of reasons. while it would be nice to know all the specific criteria they are using they won't even share that with director level as they don't want people figuring out how to game the system.
It no longer matters if this question is posted unfortunately. There was recently a managers meeting where a huge list of scenarios was played out and Sr Leadership provided specific guidance for each. Specific to this thread, the expectation is flat out 8 hours. Period. End of Story.
Of course there are caveats and exceptions to which I do not have the list of. Rest assured every "but kids pickup" , "but doctors appt", "but my horoscope says" were all reviewed and solutions provided. As previously pointed out if you're in any way shape or form a performer your manager has the ability to cover for you. Needless to say if your directive is 2/3 rotation that means 2/3 @ 8 hours. Anything less (like me) and you'll start showing up on reports. The only real questions revolve around is it a tiered system (7 1/2hrs is a caution, 3 1/2 hrs is a red alert?), do you have to hit a repeat offender # for follow on action to be triggered?, etc.
Anyone who mentions there is no badge out process for their location thinking they are gaming the system still hasn't figured out that geolocation information is also collected through network connectivity. Have no fear that at some point it will be sorted and HR will "fix the glitch" and let its-self work out naturally
OP probably still wears a mask
@oyr nailed it.
Fact: if you are a key contributor, a revenue generator or just generally valuable to your team, there aren’t any hard and fast rules.
Yikes, we don't sound suspicious at all, do we?: bank robber secrets, fun with badging in and out, hush-and-stop-revealing-our-tricks?
If some enterprise troll was smart or lucky enough or bored enough to wander over here, they might get curious
My site only badges on the way in. So none of us are there past three, we all have kids in school, after-school activities, c'mon man!
This is like a bank robber telling you his secrets. Stop mentioning it or broadcasting it. Just go to the office. Soon the police will crack down on that too
@fgl+1lxuzIla, that's glorious. don't ask, don't tell
Tell us you're a sneaky, conniving joker without telling us...
If I make the mistake of coming in between 7-8, I'm SOL for parking in the deck, may have to park at the real estate or Firestone lot across the sleep. But I had a dental appointment recently, headed in a little after 11 and...parking spots galore! From then until end of day! Lesson learned for me.
Every week someone is s t u p i d enough to post this question on a public forum. This just begs for WF to be strict with # of hours.
Everyone, please stop asking this question on here. Use your head. What do you think will happen if this question keeps getting posted over and over again?
Don't ask, don't tell, don't worry about it. If what you're doing is a problem, you'll be made known via a verbal convo, which carries no consequences unless you keep doing it after being told not to.
It's that simple. Stop worrying about it, stop asking.
I prefer the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy.
Until you are told otherwise, you do you.
