No two timing – no moonlighting: Infosys warns employees

After software services company Wipro, its Bengaluru-based rival Infosys has also taken a stance on moonlighting. The company has warned its employees that dual employment is not permitted, and that any violation of the contract clauses will trigger disciplinary action “which could even lead to termination of employment”.

“No two timing – no moonlighting!” India’s second largest IT services company said in a strong and firm message to employees on Monday. Moonlighting refers to full-time employees taking up side work or more than one job at a same time.

The debate on moonlighting came to the fore after food-tech company Swiggy allowed its employees to take up side gigs as long as they didn’t affect their full-time work at the company.
