Mumbai, December 16: Infosys gave salary revision letters to many of its workers on Friday, December 15, after several months of delay, the Economic Times reported. The company’s outgoing CFO, Nilanjan Roy, declared during Q2 results that the firm will implement pay raises starting November 1. Usually, Infosys gives its annual salary increases to employees below the senior management level in April, and the rest of the organisation gets their hikes in July. However, this year, the company had put off the salary adjustments as the industry has been struggling with a slowdown in the macroeconomic situation.
In a communication to employees, Infosys said, ‘’We are pleased to revise your compensation in acknowledgement of your commitment and performance with effect from November 1, 2023.'' The compensation review programme is for 2023-24, per the country's second-largest information technology (IT) major. The Infosys email praised employees for their “exceptional efforts and support” to overcome the current challenges and succeed in all areas. It also said that some employees got single-digit and some got low-double-digit hikes.
