Trending @Accenture; Is It Fair to Be Forced to Take Leave Due to RTO Policy?
I am currently on my probation period and have a limited number of leave days available. Due to personal reasons, I need to go home and will be unable to attend the office for one week.
When I requested an exception for that week, HR informed me that not being present in the office for an entire week would make me non-compliant with the Return to Office (RTO) policy. To remain compliant, I have been advised to apply for leave for the entire week.
However, I am fully capable of working from home during this period, and taking the entire week off will affect both my chargeability and my leave balance. If I exhaust my leaves now, I may not have any available in case of unforeseen needs in the future.
Due to the RTO policy, I am being compelled to take five days of leave even though I am willing and able to work remotely.
What to do in this situation?
You are being too honest here.. just take leave for one day as sick leave or something.. you are done.. when asked just say you had planned visit that day but due to illness couldn't come.. that's it
It doesn’t work like that, i was forced to take leave for a week
Nothing to do , those flexible days are gone 😕. Now you are either in office or you are on leave for that week
Honestly i dont need leaves, i can work from home, and one to highlight that, if i take whole week off my chargeability will decrease which will be again used against me during appraisal cycle 😐
I don't think your chargability will reduce if you take Earned /Sick/Casual leaves.
If it is something else then yes! It may reduce.
Lol, why did you reach to HR for simple thing, what u were expecting they will say pls go and enjoy . I dont know you unnecessarily reaching to HR, if you are not there just dont tell anyone . Its not mandatory like you guys are thinking or making by reaching it to HR
Why wasting leaves ?.. if manager /HR asked just say I was on the way to office but because of hot summer i felt sick so went back to home and after taking rest for 1hr i started office work. (Safer side drop a mail to your manager on that day ) Be smart 🤓
Lool😆 nice idea
Seriously 1 week leave??? Lol, never reach out to HR. If you are in a project no one will touch you. They won’t even point out one week of non compliance.
You could have gone to office on Monday , taken a leave on Tuesday flew back home & taken a leave next week as well & Come back and continued the office for a day...
Depending on the location the best thing you can try is to try booking the seat everyday at 9 am pretty sure you will be waitlisted just paste a screenshot and send it as reason for not being able to wfo
