The Unite union, which represents about 36,000 Barclays employees, has called on the bank to provide a one-off payment to staff to help cover increased travel and childcare expenses associated with returning to office work, according to a report by BBC Business.

The union's request comes amid a broader push by employers across sectors to bring staff back to physical offices following years of remote and hybrid work arrangements adopted during the Covid-19 pandemic.

According to the BBC report, Unite argues that employees face higher costs from commuting and arranging childcare when required to work from the office rather than remotely, and is seeking compensation from Barclays to offset these expenses.

Further details on the specific amount requested, the timeline of Barclays' return-to-office policy, or the bank's response to the union's demand were not included in the available report.

Barclays has not yet issued a public statement on the matter, according to the source material reviewed.
