The Karnataka Labour Ministry's interim report on the layoffs by Infosys states that the information technology major has not breached any labour laws, according to sources. Officials had visited the Infosys Mysuru campus to investigate the issue, where the company clarified its hiring process and the reason for laying off freshers. Infosys has been clear with its communication to the employees, and is not in violation of any labour laws, a government official said.The state labour department will be submitting a detailed report on the issue by March 5, they added.The Union Ministry of Labour and Employment had directed the Karnataka Labour Ministry to urgently take necessary actions to address the issue involving Infosys' layoffs. IT employee union Nascent Information Technology Employees Senate (NITES) had requested the government to take action against Infosys for laying off freshers from its Mysuru campus. Infosys, earlier, had confirmed laying off 300 freshers, citing that the employees did not clear internal tests. NITES has accused Infosys of laying off 700 employees, just a few months after the freshers were onboarded. According to NITES, the terminated freshers were made to sign confidentiality agreements, which the union argues is an attempt to suppress the details of the layoffs. The union expressed concerns over the abrupt nature of these terminations and the impact on the affected employees. “It has come to our attention, through numerous complaints received from affected employees, that Infosys Ltd. has resorted to forcibly terminating recently onboarded campus recruits who had already suffered a delay of two years in their joining after being issued offer letters,” NITES had written in its letter to the ministry. NITES had highlighted that Infosys escorted hundreds of freshers out of the Mysuru campus without prior notice and compensation. Freshers were asked to leave the same evening they got fired, and security guards, bouncers, and intimidation tactics were used to ensure they leave. Infosys, in its defence, had stated that the freshers who are being terminated have failed to clear internal tests that are part of the onboarding process. The company emphasised that this practice is in line with the contractual agreements signed by the employees at the time of their hiring.
