Moonlighting को Wipro के चेयरमैन रिशद प्रेमजी ने सीधे तौर पर धोखा करार दिया है. क्विंट हिंदी.

आईटी कंपनी विप्रो (Wipro), इन्फोसिस (Infosys), आईबीएम (IBM) और टीसीएस (TCS) मूनलाइटिंग को लेकर आपत्ति जता चुकी हैं. फूड डिलीवरी कंपनी स्विगी (Swiggy) ने अपने यहां मूनलाइटिंग को मंजूरी दी है. वहीं आईटी सहित अन्य सेक्टर के कर्मचारी भी मूनलाइटिंग का समर्थन कर रहे हैं. आपको बता दें कि बीते दिनों आईटी कंपनी इन्फोसिस (Infosys) ने भी अपने कर्मचारियों को इंटरनल मेल के जरिए मूनलाइटिंग को लेकर चेतावनी दी थी. वहीं टेक महिंद्रा के सीईओ सीपी गुरनानी (CP Gurnani) ने इसका समर्थन किया है. वहीं आईटी सहित अन्य सेक्टर के कर्मचारी भी मूनलाइटिंग का समर्थन कर रहे हैं.Expand विप्रो (Wipro) ने मूनलाइटिंग मतलब एक ही वक्त में कई कंपनियों के लिए काम करने के आरोप में अपने 300 कर्मचारियों को नौकरी से निकाल दिया, जिसके बाद इस चर्चा ने जोर पकड़ा. देश की दिग्गज टेक कंपनी विप्रो (Wipro) के चेयरमैन रिशद प्रेमजी (Rishad Premji) ने सबसे पहले इस मुद्दे पर राय देते हुए इसे धोखा करार दिया था. मूनलाइटिंग (Moonlighting) को लेकर लोगों की अपनी-अपनी राय है. जब कोई कर्मचारी अपनी नियमित नौकरी के साथ ही चोरी-छिपे दूसरी जगह भी काम करता है तो उसे तकनीकी तौर पर ‘मूनलाइटिंग’ (Moonlighting) कहा जाता है. लेकिन अब अच्छी सैलरी पाने वाले आईटी सेक्टर के कर्मचारी भी ऐसा कर रहे हैं. आमतौर पर कम सैलरी वाले लोग अतिरिक्त आय के लिए ऐसा करते हैं.

The "integrity" debate over moonlighting, or taking up work besides regular job, isn't simply about what the company bosses want. Here's an explainer.

"It is disappointing to hear the news that Wipro has fired around 300 employees in the name of moonlighting. Tech Mahindra's CP Gurnani said at a function last month: "If someone is meeting the efficiency and productivity norms, and wants to make some extra money... "Employment is a contract between an employer who pays me for working for them for 'n' number of hours a day. Wipro's Rishad Premji said that employees can have conversations around playing in a band or working on a project over the weekend; but sought to separate such cases from secretly working for competitors. Playing in a band over the weekend is different from secretly working for rivals, Wipro boss Rishad Premji underlined this week as the soap-to-tech business group said it has fired 300 employees for “moonlighting”. NITES chief Harpreet Singh Saluja has said clauses in the offer letters and employment contracts deserve legal scrutiny.
