Honor system and hotel card swipe data audits. You can't swipe in within the shut-in time or you will get in trouble. It's actually quite easy to enforce. Hotels are more than happy to hand over the data to the company in addition to CCTV.
Violate the rules and get caught by the safety team, CAA is contacted for safety violation, you are fired or heavily discplined(and this is recorded for you...going to be hard getting a job in the future), and you now have a record that may deny you any licensed aviation position(and possibly more).
BR has actually screwed over many people's future through strict reporting of your discipline violations and your recorded incidents with the company in addition to "leaking" your irresponsibility to the media that may or may not be broadcast with your photo(your eyes are blurred of course and only your last name will be used). Media will be more than happy to pick up a safety violation story and run it to make a big deal out of it.

BR and TFAU/Eva Air Corporate Union are now in a dispute over year-end bonuses. The unions demand that they be consulted prior to the issuance of the bonus but BR has rejected all calls for year-end bonus negotiations and the Ministry of Labor cannot force anyone to the table over these as it is considered a "benefit" and not an actual labor issue. The union said that upon their arrival at BR HQ to attempt to negotiate, they were asked to leave.
The unions demand overhaul of the bonus system to ensure fair issuance and closure of the pay gap between HQ employees and front line employees. Last year, FA's got 4 months, pilots 2 months, and Ground staff 6 months while corporate employees got 6 months despite their higher salary. This year, they want everyone to get the same(ironic...since they don't seem to want everyone to get all the other benefits).
