AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Bank of Ireland has warned staff that failing to meet the hybrid‑work requirement of at least eight days in the office each month could jeopardise their bonuses and trigger disciplinary action. Chief People Officer Matt Elliott announced that “swipe‑in” data will be collected monthly and used as part of performance assessments, linking attendance directly to bonus eligibility and future pay increases. While the policy still allows two days a week (or eight days a month) of remote work, the bank is tightening enforcement after noting low compliance. The move follows a Group Executive Committee meeting led by CEO Myles Grady and has drawn criticism from the Financial Services Union, which cites data‑protection concerns and promises to raise the issue with the Data Protection Commission.
