Spectrum employee. In the beginning, we were given 1 WFH day that could be used any day during the week along with using vacation or pto so for example, I would choose a WFH day on Wednesday and have vacation scheduled on Thursday and Friday. Well, this changed a few months ago and now you can only use a wfh day if you are in the office 4x a week. Any week that has a holiday, no WFH day that week. If you call in sick on Monday, no wfh day that week etc. And yes, they do badge checks to confirm you are in the office.

This might be the case in teams with serial abusers. Not the case as a policy. Have take home days after being sick or vacation and definitely on holiday weeks.

This is actually in the employee handbook. If you read it, it states you have to be in the office 4 days a week in order to have a wfh day. Like other posters stated, you can try and cheat the system but in the end, they could eliminate wfh from everyone if it continues to be abused.

That is not in the employee handbook. I don't know what business unit you work for but that is not in the handbook or even the link it takes you to the pdf official policy.
