Frequently asked questions

Can hybrid office days be changed later?+

Yes, if the letter says the pattern follows company policy and may change with notice. Communicate changes in writing.

Is commuting reimbursed for hybrid employees?+

Usually not, as the office is the normal place of work. Some companies offer a transport allowance.

What if a hybrid employee misses office days?+

Treat it under the attendance policy, with a conversation first. Repeated non-compliance can be handled through normal disciplinary steps.
