Wipro shredded salary hikes for mid-year cycle and implement 80% variable pay for Q1FY24
Wipro, a multinational organization with a focus on information technology that offers IT, consulting, and business process services to clients worldwide, has eliminated this year’s compensation increase for its staff.
Wipro has decided to move its appraisal cycle to the third quarter of the fiscal year, departing from its traditional practice of implementing pay raises in September. During a news conference, the company’s management confirmed that salary increases would still be given to workers.
According, the news reports that the subject of salary increases comes up at a crucial time when businesses are working to protect their profits and lower employee costs, with special anxiety about Wipro. Wipro intends to move on with pay increases in the third quarter, even though it has guaranteed that its margins would be within a comparable range.
In the company’s call with investors, Chief Financial Officer Jatin Dalal stated, “We did our last salary increase in September of last year, and we plan to do that for this year sometime in quarter three,” adding that the impact was not being taken into account for Q2.
The same-city counterpart to Wipro, Infosys, has decided to postpone its compensation increase, departing from its usual April cycle.
On the other hand, HCLTech has decided to forgo the remuneration review for management-level and higher staff this year and has announced a one-quarter deferral of raises for junior and mid-level personnel. The executive team at HCLTech emphasized during the analyst call that the latter group accounts for a sizeable share of the total salary expense.
Saurabh Govil, the chief human resources officer at Wipro, stated during the press conference that the company is still committed to its quarterly promotion cycles. According to Govil, the promotion cycles were completed in Q1 and will proceed according to schedule in Q2, according to Moneycontrol.
For Q1, the corporation will give junior level employees, whose pay is based on the business’s overall performance, 80% of the variable pay. However, the variable reward for workers at the manager level and above will be decided based on the performance of their individual business units.
Despite this setting, “our variable pay will pay out will be around 80% in Q1.” We will continue to provide for the needs of our staff while calibrating with corporate needs, he said.
Wipro was unable to onboard all of the freshmen it had hired the year prior due to business constraints. Wipro did not participate in campus hiring throughout the current fiscal year, and therefore did not onboard any new employees in Q1. Although particular hiring goals have not been made public by the corporation, it ended the quarter by laying off 8,812 workers.
