Infosys Unable To Justify Non-Compete Clause For Employees: NITES

Pune, 25th July 2022: “Infosys CEO Salil Parekh’s response to an illegal and unethical non-compete agreement question in a press conference yesterday is a sheer lie and misleading. The company’s representatives using dilatory tactics purposely avoided attending the meetings held at Labour Commissioner Offices in Delhi and Bengaluru. This can be confirmed by seeing proceedings at Labour Commissioner Offices where the company has been marked absent every time”, said Harpreet Saluja, president, Nascent Information Technology Employees Senate (NITES).

He added, “The company in their earlier press release has confirmed that this non-compete agreement will not hamper the future employment of any employee, but the company is unable to justify “why this illegal agreement is still a part of offer letters?”. NITES union strongly condemns such false statements being made by CEO of the company Salil Parekh that they had lengthy discussions with authorities to potray that the company’s illegal methods are ethical.”
