Booking.com has asked a court to order staff at its Amsterdam head office to come in at least two days a week, after its works council refused to approve the plan.
The plan covers the 7,000 people working at the headquarters, and the row over where they work has been going on for some time.
Under Dutch law, the works council, or ondernemingsraad, must agree to any change in where employees work, so the company has turned to the court instead.
Since the coronavirus lockdowns ended in 2022, Booking.com has advised staff to spend 40% of their working hours in the office.
Even so, some still work from home nearly all the time, a spokesman told the Financieele Dagblad.
Under the proposal, each team would agree on one office day and employees would pick the other day themselves.
The company says homeworking harms productivity and team building, and points to staff surveys showing most people find it easier to work together in person.
The works council argues there is no business case for making office attendance compulsory twice a week.
