“We received complaints from people work at Amdocs BPO in Phursungi, Pune, that more than 150 employees have been sacked. The company is not replying to the queries of these employees. The company has not provided any relieving or experience letter to these employees. Under lockdown, the employees are unable to appear for interviews and join any other company. Hence it has become extremely difficult for these employees to survive. National Information Technology Employees Sena has submitted an official complaint to the Labour Commissioner Office Pune. Acting on the complaint of NITES Labour Commissioner Office Pune has issued a notice to the company”, said Harpreet Saluja, General Secretary, National Information Technology Employees Sena (NITES).

“We are daily receiving complaints from employees of various IT and ITES companies. Keeping in view the COVID-19 pandemic Central Government as well as State government has issued an advisory to all the establishments that no employee shall be terminated from a job and the wages shouldn’t be reduced. But a lot of IT companies are flouting the directions of the Central as well as State government”, Saluja added.
