CEO of TeamLease RegTech, Rishi Agrawal, asserts that IT firms have the right to transfer employees to different locations based on business needs, and no permanent single location commitment can be guaranteed.
The statement comes in response to allegations by the IT employees' union, NITES, claiming that TCS transferred over 2,000 employees without proper notice or consultation.
Agrawal points out that employment terms are governed by the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act of 1946. Offer and appointment letters, aligned with standing orders, outline the terms and conditions.
