阿姆斯特丹，10月28日——阿姆斯特丹一家法院周三裁定，Booking.com要求员工至少将40%的工作时间用于在办公室办公并非不合理，批准该公司实施这一政策。

目前，在现行的自愿安排下，只有27%的员工达到40%的到岗门槛。Booking.com起诉其企业委员会，因后者拒绝同意新的强制性政策；根据《企业委员会法》，如果法院认为委员会的拒绝不合理，可批准许可。法院裁定，企业委员会无合理理由拒绝同意，权衡了Booking.com的管理自由裁量权及其向员工发出合理工作场所指示的权利。
该政策包含六个月的过渡期，并为面临真实困难的员工设有困难条款；早前的提案曾要求强制到岗比例为50%至60%。法院表示，Booking.com必须继续确保有足够的工位，使每位到办公室的员工都有座位。
AMSTERDAM, Oct 28 - An Amsterdam court ruled on Wednesday that it is not unreasonable for Booking.com to require employees to spend at least 40% of their working time in the office, granting the company permission to implement the policy. Only 27% of employees currently meet the 40% office threshold under the existing voluntary arrangement Booking.com sued its works council after it refused to consent to the new mandatory policy; under the Works Councils Act, a court may grant permission if it deems the council's refusal unreasonable The court ruled the works council could not reasonably have withheld its consent, weighing Booking.com's managerial discretion and its right to give employees reasonable workplace instructions The policy includes a six-month transition period and a hardship clause for employees who face genuine difficulties; an earlier proposal had called for 50% to 60% mandatory attendance The court said Booking.com must continue to ensure sufficient workstations so every employee who comes to the office has a place to sit Booking.com's works council said it regretted that the leadership took the issue to court "rather than continuing a dialogue to explore the possibilities together".
Booking.com的企业委员会表示遗憾，公司领导层将此事诉诸法院，“而非继续对话以共同探索可能性”。
“企业委员会正在其法律和隐私顾问的协助下，全面审查法院的完整判决，以确定适当的后续步骤，包括上诉的可行性”，委员会在一份声明中表示。
"The Works Council, alongside its legal and privacy advisers, is thoroughly reviewing the court’s full judgment to determine appropriate next steps, including the viability of an appeal", the council said in a statement.
Booking.com表示欢迎该裁决。“从建议转为平均每周两天到岗的标准，并非根本性转变，而只是对现有政策的完善，”一位发言人说。该发言人补充称，Booking.com计划在推进政策实施的过程中，继续与企业委员会和员工保持建设性对话。
Booking.com said it welcomed the ruling. "Moving from a recommendation to a standard of an average of two days in the office per week is not a fundamental shift, but rather a refinement of our existing policy," a spokesperson said The spokesperson added that Booking.com plans to continue a constructive dialogue with its works council and employees as they move forward with the implementation of the policy
