Bank of America return to office policy3 days a week.

What the policy says.

• The three-day minimum for hybrid-eligible roles has been the standard since October 2022.
• Client-facing employees (such as financial center staff and sales and trading) are in 5 days a week; senior leaders are office-based.
• From September 2026, remote days cannot be consecutive (for example Mon-Tue, Thu-Fri or Fri-Mon). Mon/Wed or Tue/Fri pairs are allowed.
• Stated reasons: in-person collaboration, better use of real estate, and less crowding Tuesday to Thursday.
• In January 2024, 'letters of education' gave under-attending staff two weeks to comply or face 'further action'.
• Employees were told of the 2026 change by letter in August 2026.

Working to an office rule? Plan the days that matter.

The hybrid work schedule template builds a week of office days for your team: anchor days everyone shares, the rest spread so the office never overflows. Then Forgot keeps office days, remote days and vacations on one calendar, so nobody commutes in for a planning day half the team is away for.
