... but, you better be within 20 miles of your designated work location! Location Proximity testing on the way (for YOUR safety of course). Stay a few days with mom out of state, but work as normal... yeah no.

Fraud is bad. That said - instead of policing people wfh or not - how about figuring who actually works and who does not?
@ag "they caught people who were claiming to WFH but were sharing their login with independent contractors and subcontracting the work on their own."
No other team or department besides tech could ever even think about doing this. Pretty genius though, if you asked me.
Anyway, there are people who legitimately live and commute more than 20 miles to/from their designated work/office location. So that's an issue right there.
That said, when it comes to all their "big brother" type policies that seem to be getting implemented...the biggest issue for me is how they typically do them in such secretive, clandestine fashion. Just be open and transparent. There is zero down-side. However, they have a total abhorrence to an open and honest approach with employees. Their instincts are always to keep as much information away employees as possible. Must placate their inflated egos and make them feel extra important.

They’ll know because your MFA app pings your GPS every time you hit "Approve." If you're outside the radius, it triggers an automated flag. They could go as far as denying the ability to log in outside your approved work radius.
They care because of "Tax Nexus" laws—even a few days in another state can create massive tax/legal liabilities for a bank and you may be required to pay state income tax to the state for the time you worked there.
@OP they caught people who were claiming to WFH but were sharing their login with independent contractors and subcontracting the work on their own.
