In Office Compliance Update for People Leaders

(Mgr Name)

As shared in September 2024, Comcast Business HQ is looking at in-office attendance on a quarterly basis to identify employees who are averaging less than one or less than two days per week across the quarter.

To support you and your teams between each quarterly report, we will also share monthly updates via the attached report with three tabs so that you can provide appropriate coaching and guidance to employees who may be at risk of appearing on the quarterly report based on their rate of attendance. Weekly data included in this month are 2/2-2/8, 2/9-2/15, 2/16-2/22, and 2/23-3/1.

Tab 1: In-office attendance for employees averaging less than one day per week in the month.

At the current rate of attendance, the employee may be at risk of appearing on the non-compliance report for the upcoming quarter. While they will not receive a 30-day notice letter at this time, if they do appear on the quarterly report for Q4, issued in January, they could be subject to receiving a 30-day notice letter.

Tab 2: In-office attendance for employees averaging between one to two days per week in the month.

At the current rate of attendance, the employee may be at risk of appearing on the non-compliance report for the upcoming quarter. While they may not receive a 30-day notice letter at this time, if they do appear on the quarterly report for Q4, issued in January, they will not be eligible for outstanding ratings in the 2025 performance year or promotions on a 12 month rolling basis.

Tab 3: In-office attendance tracking by month for employees who were identified as averaging less than one day per week in a previous quarters (sic) without an approved exception and were issued a 30-day notice letter.

Tracking for any employee issued a 30-day notice letter in a previous quarter will be found on Tab 3 and will include their rate of attendance by tracked month. If they are averaging more than two days per week this month, there is no action needed. Please continue to work with them to continue meeting their in-office attendance requirements. If they are averaging under two days per week in the given month, they will be subject to corrective action up to and including termination. Please work with your HR Business Partner. If you did not have any employees to track from Q3 or Q4 2024, your third tab will be blank.

What's Next:

Please review all tabs carefully and take appropriate action:

For employees on tab 1 & 2, please use this opportunity to coach these employees and help them understand that they may be at risk of non-compliance if they continue the same rate of attendance. You may also use the opportunity to understand if any type of accomodation or exception is needed. You can use the In-Office Attendance Talking Points & FAQ and Lead Forward: Coaching Conversation resources to help facilitate your conversation.

For tab 3, please reach out to your HRBP if they have no contacted you already regarding any employee listed on tab three and in a non-compliance [averaging two days or less per week] status.

Thank you for your leadership.

I have a lot of sympathy for those staff members with real need to work from home, like they are a caregiver or they have burdensome amounts of childcare expenses. For those too lazy to come in when they know they should, do you like getting a paycheck or not? You are replaceable, especially on this difficult economic environment. For those who think they are too smart to get caught, I work with you - you definitely aren't smart enough to pull that off.

It essentially means, those who are coming in to office “2 days or less” can be easily laid off or fired…..and all those who are in that table are “eligible to be laid off/fired”…period. They are letting the managers & people leaders to give their “their preferred subordinates/su-k ups” a heads up/advanced notice that they are on the chopping block!!!’

To me, those terms and thresholds sound very generous given that the Comcast-wide standard set a couple years ago is four days in the office per week. Around that same timeframe last year there was a system going in place for NBCUniversal as well.
