Days after news of IT giant HCL Technologies rolling out a new policy linking leaves of employees with their attendance in office, the IT-employee union Nascent Information Technology Employees Senate (NITES) has put out an official statement condemning this move. The supposed policy mandates employees to work from the office at least thrice a week and 12 days a month to be eligible for leave. According to reports, if this quota is unfulfilled, employees’ leaves will be cut for each absent day. Five months ago, the company transitioned to a hybrid work model, asking employees to return to the office thrice a week. HCL Technologies must reconsider this policy and ensure that employee welfare is prioritized,” he said.
