Work 6 hours in office, leave to beat traffic.
Work 2 hours at home to get my 8 hours day.
Does that count as 1 day in office?
Many people are saying if you work in the office and then work at home same day, they won’t count as a 1 day in office???

I work in HR, told to model the way and I have no clue what just happened. I’ve always planned and documented my days in office as well as travel so I can clearly explain any discreprncies and all of my numbers for the last several months are off now. We don’t know more than anyone else but are expected to smile and be a model for the company.
I'd like to give you an answer or tell you how I think it should work, but the truth is no one knows because this was communicated so poorly.
If these numbskulls had actually gotten the dashboard working before pushing this change maybe there wouldn't be all this speculation and panic, but that would require some brains
Someone from HR give us the inside scoop, please. Accountability should come with transparency. I can tell you I’m done working nights, weekends and taking meetings before 9 AM given the lack of flexibility with this change.
That makes no sense. I always log on to my computer in the evening regardless if I was in the office or not.
6 hours in did not track for me. Every Friday I work 8-215 in office, drive home for lunch and work the last two hours at home.
Those days did not track as in office. Same with a 4 hour sick day, no in office credit given.
My cube friends and I talked today and I’m normally there 8 hours a day and my days were accounted for; my cube friend comes around 9 am and leaves at 2 pm and their percentage was 0. But I know they come in cause I see them. There is some kind of hours in that reporting they won’t share.
@a5 if it puts you at ease I don’t think it wipes out your day. Nearly everyday I’m in office I end up working a bit from home. I put in my hours but I also try to beat traffic even if I’m not done with work. So I finish at home. All of my tracking days seemed to show up. For those whose haven’t, not sure if it’s a number of hours in office or what it is.
My guess is HR is keeping secret the actual number of hours that counts as "1 day in office". I am hearing 6.5 hours but it's heresay. Nothing in the HR articles for managers says anything about how that is calculated. I do have days this year first quarter when I did come in but they are not counting those in the new tracking system. So that tells me there is a threshold.
I will be pi---d if I put in 8 hours at the office, and then log in to do an after hours release at home and that logging "wipes out" my "day in the office".
@OP who knows? Lol
I have many similar days where I took early morning meetings from home then spent part of the day in office where that appears to count as zero for RTO tracking purposes. My compliance flipped from near perfect for months to way below target in the new methodology and this is the only anomaly I can find. I don't think anybody really knows the answer and the data is corrupt in many instances. Yet it got rolled out.
It must count because that’s my typical day. Though I’m often closer to 7 hours
My understanding: the current reporting supposedly does not count how many hours you're in office so it probably counts. But they are tracking this data point and the probability that this will get used at some point and then your compliance retroactively re-stated such that the partial day counts as zero for the last 6 months is very high.
