Deloitte return to office policyEach team decides.

Deloitte US has no firm-wide minimum number of office days; its hybrid model lets people decide how they work, and teams meet in person when it matters. The exception is US Tax, which since March 2025 has expected 2-3 days a week (50%) at a Deloitte office or client site, tied to performance reviews and bonuses.

What the policy says.

US Tax only: in-person collaboration 2-3 days (50%) a week.
Client-site time counts toward the Tax requirement.
For Tax staff, attendance counts in the performance reviews that set bonuses, and missing it could cut or remove the bonus.
Tracking reportedly uses badge swipes and timesheets (secondary reports citing the FT).
Deloitte told the FT the rule applies only to US Tax.
Non-US: India-based staff of Deloitte US must be in at least 2 days a week from Oct 1, 2025; Deloitte UK has no minimum.
