If you'd like local check-ins to be mandatory for employees, enable the Local desk check-ins-only setting and set up on-site check-in methods.

Abandoned desk protection tip
Admins can enable abandoned desk protection when configuring the stickers. With that said, if "Local check-in only" is enabled, we recommend configuring or adjusting the abandoned desk protection threshold to include a buffer to give folks enough time to get to their physical desk to complete the check-in before the reservation is canceled.
Desk check-in tips
If “Local-check in only” is turned on, users will receive a check-in reminder 30 minutes after their reservation starts. In other cases, users will receive a reminder at the start of the advanced check-in window.
