“You are warned and directed to start reporting to work from your office location as per the assigned roster, with immediate effect,” it quoted the memo as saying.

TCS ‘work from office’ guidelines

In September last year, with the Covid-19 pandemic subsiding, TCS informed its employees they must come to office for at least three days a week (total 12 in a month).

Also, as per the TOI report, if an associate, who has been rostered to come to office in a particular week, seeks to work from home instead, then such a request may be approved if the individual agrees to compensate for such days at some point during the month, or, in other words, comes to office on days they would otherwise be off, or functioning virtually.

Additionally, any request seeking work from home is to be made at least five days in advance.

Previously, the Mumbai-headquartered company made it clear work from home would not be encouraged, except in cases of medical emergency. Those violating the instructions were also warned of a reduction in salary/leaves.
