Can someone with real inside knowledge on the issue chip in? How are they enforcing minimum hours in the office for salaried people? The handbook doesn't even specify anything .

A class action law suit waiting to come. People work long days, weekends, fighting fire drills, on-call, projects, etc... Can't burn people out (those that are rightfully so in such a position) and expect RTO, hours tracking, etc... Not saying that's to come, but seems like some unjust Big Bruh not recognizing that it's not just about tracking days/hours, etc. Focus on the outcome!
Tableau report where you can see your team, you can slice and dice the data a lot of ways, just badge swipes and location, no time in office. I can see if an employee was 3.5 or 2.4 as an example. Our report opens up with the four-week numbers, but it does appear to be rolling. Hammer is coming down next year on slackers, 100 percent.
In my department, managers review a quarterly report for each employee. It provides an In-Office average per week. Less than 3 days in office will get you a talking to by your manager.
The report shows total days in office/travel (travel counts as in office), days with time away (PTO counts as day in the office), and holidays (counts as day in the office). The report displays a weekly calendar and indicates each day with "in-office", "time away", "holiday", or it's blank (meaning you were remote). Time onsite is not tracked currently.
Time in office isn't tracked currently. There can't be a metric for that to determine disciplinary action (like there can be for #days in office). If time in office becomes something added to the report, it will most likely be at the managers discretion to identify patterns (such as badging in and out in 30 mins 3 days a week).
Technically they can't always tell. Not always a badge reader, not always a good location to logical network mapping. They have been trying, but the data does not lend itself to a one size fits all solution. They will police as much as they can where the can. That's all they can do.
The big picture here is people need to leave for doctor visits, etc. people go to lunch. They leave and come back. This would be stupid amount of reporting and oversight.
Sorry, but they can and will require this of exempt employees.
Sorry, they can’t do this for exempt employees. They could likely get away with saying you have to be in office for at least 4 hours and not track time past that but that’s about it.
Leaving after bonus, so good luck!

They know that not all work is PC based right? I mean, no network data for my hours of convos around the water cooler. Just good productive workplace in person collaboration. Approved by the CEO.
This isn't widespread yet. Might only be confined to call centers and operations for now
here's a thought, go into the office the requisite number of hours.
Wait for your PC activity heatmap they have an AI company already recording this for every employee and same company provides automation solutions to make your job obsolete.
Likely will be done by how many hours your computer is active in a network.
Well, if it goes how everything typically does at Wells, then it will be vastly inconsistent, inefficient, and be absent of any logic whatsoever.
