BANGALORE:
Infosys wants its
employees in Pune to get home early. The
company has made changes to its existing late-stay policy, refraining its
employees from working late in the day.
In an email sent to employees on
Tuesday, the company said, "In light of the changes in late-stay policy on
campuses across Infosys, we wish to inform you that all recreational facilities
shall be operational till 7.45 pm every day." This includes indoor/ outdoor
games, gym and locker facilities, said sources familiar with the development.
The policy said weekend timings would also be changed as per this notification.
"Abiding by the
company policy make sure you're leaving the
campus by 8 pm," it added.
When TOI contacted Infosys, the company
spokesperson said, "We do not comment on matters pertaining to our internal
organization."
Though employees largely see this as a positive move
encouraging them to end the day early, those working in late shifts to support
clients in different geographies would miss out on the opportunity to use these
facilities. The company has reduced the frequency of buses to ferry employees
back home. Earlier, the buses would ply at 1-hour interval between 5-9 pm in the
evening. Now the last bus leaves at 8 pm, said sources.
