Infosys Reward Policy: According to a senior Infosys employee, this reward scheme is a move to please the section of employees who were disappointed with the 5-8 per cent salary increment for FY 2024 and low performance bonus for the March 2025 quarter.
Infosys Recruitment Reward Policy: Infosys, one of India’s largest IT companies, has launched a new recruitment reward scheme. Under this scheme, employees who take interviews for new recruitments will be given a cash reward of ₹ 700 per interview. This is the first step of its kind in Infosys, which aims to encourage employees to participate in the recruitment process.
What is the new policy?
Under the new policy, employees will be able to earn 700 points (which is equivalent to ₹ 700) per interview. This program will be considered effective from January 1, which means that employees can also claim rewards for interviews taken in the last 5 months. This new cash incentive policy has been introduced for senior employees of the company who take interviews for lateral hiring. The company aims to boost the morale of the employees and reward them by valuing their participation in the interview process.
Here, let us tell you that employees of HR and Talent Acquisition teams will not be a part of this reward program. Also, if an interview is cancelled or the candidate does not turn up, the employee will not be able to claim the reward.
What was the scheme earlier?
According to an employee, this scheme will encourage team managers and mid-level leaders to bring good talent to the company. Earlier, there was no cash incentive for taking interviews. Rather, compensatory leave was given for interviews taken on the company campus on weekends.
According to a senior Infosys employee, this reward policy is a move to appease the section of employees who were disappointed with the 5-8 per cent salary increment for the financial year 2024 and the low performance bonus for the March 2025 quarter.
Bumper increase in CEO’s salary
Recently, information about the salary to be received by Infosys CEO Salil Parekh came to light. His salary increased by 22 per cent for the financial year 2026, taking his annual payment to ₹80.62 crore. Parekh was also awarded 3,82,071 restricted stock units (RSUs) along with his monetary compensation. On one hand, while thousands of employees saw very little increment in their salaries, on the other hand, such a huge increase in the CEO’s salary is a bit disappointing for the employees.
