Read Infosys HR’s ‘warning’ letter to employees on moonlighting

The Indian IT industry is cracking down on moonlighting. Just weeks after Wipro chairman Rishad Premji described moonlighting as “cheating – plain and simple”, Infosys has sent a stern warning email to employees. In the letter sent from HR, Infosys has made it clear that moonlighting is not allowed according to the employees’ code of conduct, and that any violation will lead to disciplinary action which may include termination of employment. Here’s the letter sent by Infosys’ employee relations team (TOI has reviewed a copy of the internal communication).

Moonlighting refers to the practice of working on a second job or multiple other work assignments during normal business hours/outside business hours. Dual Employment in India or double employment rule in India means being employed by more than one employer at the same time.
