If they are good employees that get their jobs done, why not?

I WFH and sure there are days I’m lazy and don’t get shite done. But others I’m working way past the time I would if I was in the office.

You give people an inch, they'll take a mile. My biggest issue when I became a manager was understanding not everybody takes personal responsibility or ownership. They all do not have drive. My work ethic is not theirs.

Sounds like they aren’t paid great, otherwise they would be willing to do this for you and the company. Give them all 50% raises and report back el cheapo.

Your employees should quit. There are 10x better bosses out there who will let them work from home without giving them lip.

I have 55 stateside employees and upwards of 100 overseas vendor employees that report up the line to me. Zero in office workers and it's been that way for years before Covid. If you can't manage these people successfully in a WFH environment you can't manage them in house either. It's not about the location its about the leadership you provide and the work culture you create. My salaried remote managers give untold time before and after hours when needed due to not having to commute. I'm also quick to approve the time off they want to keep the balance. Stop using WFH as an excuse for poor management of poor employees that you feel the need to manipulate in order to get productivity from them.

Work from home is a disaster for 98% of people. Of course 100% of the OT are self starters and inexplicably more efficient working from home, but we know that's bullshite.

When the weather is bad, I encourage my team to work from home. Why add unnecessary risk/stress?

If they can work from home when the weather is bad then why not primarily be WFH?

If they can reasonably do their work from home, why force them to be in the office 100% of the time?

Quit being an insufferable tool. Let them work from home and have them send in a detailed work log at the end of the day. Win win. They work from home and are forced to be productive.

If they fluff up the work log, then deal with that on a case by case basis.
