TCS has reduced variable pay for senior employees for the third consecutive quarter, affecting payouts for January-March 2025 period amid global economic uncertainty.
Concern has risen among employees as reduced bonuses were observed despite meeting office attendance targets, with some receiving as low as 20 percent of their eligible variable pay.
TCS linked variable pay to office attendance in April 2024, with deviations in actual payouts reported even for employees meeting attendance criteria.
The company has postponed its annual salary hikes, citing global headwinds and business pressures, while continuing to invest in learning and development initiatives for employees.
