Pune, December 14, 2020: Nascent Information Technology Employees Senate (NITES) is working extensively for the welfare and rights of IT and ITES employees.

“We had a meeting with Member of Legislative Council Maharashtra Gopichand Padalkar (BJP spokesperson) and apprised him regarding the problems and concerns of IT, ITES, BPO and KPO employees.

Since lockdown NITES has raised the issue of more than 78000 employees with Chief Minister Office, Labour Minister, Labour Departments and District Magistrate against illegal terminations, layoffs and salary cuts of employees. But after rigorous follow-ups also no justice was served to the employees. Padalkar Sir has patiently heard & discussed various concerns faced by IT employees regarding Denial of Maternity Benefits, Crèche facility, No Overtime and Shift allowances, denial of severance pay, deduction of leaves, No quarantine leaves, 90 days notice period etc”, said Harpreet Saluja, General Secretary, NITES.

He added, “Padalkar sir has assured us that for the very first time the problems and concerns of more than 6 lakh IT Employees in Maharashtra will be raised in the Legislative Session. I request all the IT and ITES employees to support and stand together in our campaign for #JusticeforEmployees.”
