The company has said in an e-mail sent to the employees that work or ‘moonlighting’ is not allowed in two places. Any breach of contract will be subject to disciplinary action and may result in termination. Infosys has also cited employee handbook and code of conduct in its internal mail sent to employees under the name ‘No Double Lives’.
Know what is the problem with moonlighting companies
When an employee works for another company or project in addition to his regular job, it is technically called moonlighting. Generally people work on another project without informing the company. This is the reason why companies are taking it seriously. IT industry veteran and former Infosys director Mohandas Pai had recently said that low salaries in the technology industry in the early stages are one of the reasons for moonlighting.
Email issued to employees
Several companies have told their employees in an e-mail that moonlighting will not be allowed according to the employee rules and that violations will be subject to disciplinary action. Under this, you can also be fired from the job. Wipro Chairman Rishad Premji also opposed moonlighting and called it a hoax. He tweeted and said that there is a lot of discussion in the tech industry about moonlighting people. This is clearly a hoax.
