CBA has circulated an email to People Leaders outlining their intention to crack down on staff not meeting the bank’s 50% in-office mandate.
This email is a shameful admission from management that flexibility is all one way with the CBA.
As you know, last year CBA introduced their 50% in-office mandate without any consultation with employees. Now the updated Flexible Working Procedure puts even more pressure on people not meeting the requirement by implementing a three-step process, which threatens to reduce (or even remove) an employee’s STVR/PRP bonuses – or even worse, disciplinary action.
And all this a week after CEO Matt Comyn acknowledged the work of employees towards the bank’s $9.84B profits at the AGM.
We’ve been in the media about CBA’s outrageous actions – you can read the full story in The Australianhere.
We want to hear about your experiences complying with CBA’s mandate and ongoing issues with the attendance dashboard. Register for our FSU member meeting (which will be held via Microsoft Teams), where we will discuss our response to management’s changes.

In-office mandate plagued with issues
There have been multiple problems ever since CBA introduced its deeply unpopular in-office mandate and subsequent office attendance dashboard, including:
- Flexible work arrangements not being taken into account
- Sick days and other leave days not being properly accounted for
- Shorter days not being recorded properly
- Instances where members have worked a day and it hasn’t been registered.
If any of these issues sound familiar, we urge you to attend our important union meeting.
Even if you don’t think they apply to you because you’re reaching the 50% attendance, we still encourage you to attend. Personal circumstances can change, and history shows that CBA management could change the goalposts around their minimum requirements in the future.
