Quick answers for office days and desk bookings
Start here for the most common next steps.
This fictional Northstar FAQ gives example guidance only. Local arrangements and role eligibility must be confirmed before publication. For an immediate task, open Bookings to check desk availability or go to Exceptions to discuss the applicable local process with your manager.
Common questions
These answers do not replace approved local arrangements.
How many days must I work from the office?
This example does not set a required number of office days. Check the approved guidance for your location and role, and ask your manager if you are unsure which arrangement applies.
Does office-day guidance apply to frontline employees?
Do not assume it does. This site is written for office-based and hybrid employees. Frontline roles may have different arrangements; confirm the applicable guidance with your manager.
How do I reserve a desk?
Open the Bookings app, choose the relevant office and date, review the available desks, and complete the booking action shown there. See Booking a Desk for the example steps.
How can I tell whether my desk reservation is confirmed?
Check your reservations in Bookings. Treat the desk as reserved only when the app shows the reservation.
What if I cannot follow the office-day guidance?
Discuss your circumstances with your manager and ask which local exception process and decision owner apply. This example does not promise eligibility or an outcome.
Where can I find the authoritative local rules or request form?
Ask your manager which approved local policy and request method apply. A Policy Hub link or Forms connection should be added only after Northstar confirms and configures the authoritative destination.
