Workers at one of Britain’s biggest banks have been told their bonuses could be cut if they fail to turn up at the office.

HSBC said if they fail to come in for the required three days a week, they could end up being paid less.

It is the latest example of the battle by bosses to reverse the working-from-home trend that started during the pandemic.

HSBC emailed staff at its Birmingham-based business, which employs 23,000 people across offices and branches, on how its ‘hybrid’ policy would be enforced.

The bank has had the rule, which requires staff to be in the office or with customers for at least 60 per cent of the time, in force for around 18 months.
