- Policy: HCLTech requires employees to be in the office for a minimum of 3 days a week (approximately 12 days a month).
- Leave Deduction: If employees fall short of this minimum in-office requirement, their leaves will be deducted for each day they are absent.
- Motivation: This policy aims to encourage employees to return to the office more frequently as part of their hybrid work model.
It’s important to note some additional points:
- HCLTech, unlike its competitor TCS, does not link variable pay directly to office attendance.
- This policy has sparked debate among employees, with some concerned about potential pay loss if they exhaust their leaves while working remotely due to legitimate reasons.
