The Covid pandemic not only forced the IT world to grant employees Work From Home option, but it also gave a big opportunity for the employees to hold two jobs. The IT firms got to know about this recently and they were shocked by this. Having dubbed the moonlighting practice unethical, the companies warned employees of getting sacked.
After putting an end to the Work From Home Practice, IT firms are following a hybrid model, a mixture of work from home and work from the office. To continue the second job, a few employees are reportedly asking work from home on medical grounds.
To counter this, the leading Tech giant Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) reportedly sent a circular to the employees which says, employees who want to work from home have to produce a medical certificate from a doctor. Here comes the twist, the doctors should be empanelled by the company for the credibility of the certificate he or she provides.
It is said that TCS is tracking the details of employees who are preferring working from home over working from the office. As they mentioned medical condition as the reason, the ocmpnay reportedly asked for a medical certificate.
Once the rule comes effective, then the employees who are working from their houses giving medical grounds as the reason will have to face issues now. If the management thinks the employees are just using this as a reason to work from home, then they might be in danger of losing their jobs.
Going by the information shared by the media reports, TCS is in plans to make the rules for Work From Home strict from now on, and the decision of whether the employees can be given work from home or not might change based on the condition of the employees.
It is known that IT firms in India are making employees come to the office to work rather than work from home. Despite the employees giving mixed reactions to this, the IT firms are not ready to take a back step on this. The new decision taken by the largest IT firm in India can be seen as part of the efforts.
