Put simply, moonlighting refers to employees taking up side gigs to work on more than one job at a time
Infosys has shot off a missive to its employees, asserting that dual employment or ‘moonlighting’ is not permitted, and has warned that any violation of contract clauses will trigger disciplinary action “which could even lead to termination of employment”.
“No two timing - no moonlighting!” India’s second largest IT services company said in a strong and firm message to employees on September 12.
Put simply, moonlighting refers to employees taking up side gigs to work on more than one job at a time.
Infosys’ internal communication titled “no double lives” makes it clear that “dual employment is not permitted as per...Employee Handbook and Code of Conduct”.
It also cites the relevant clause in the offer letter to drive home the point.
“Any violation of these clauses will lead to disciplinary action which could even lead to termination of employment,” the mail said.
An email sent by PTI to Infosys for comments did not elicit a response.
