The publication citing sources mentoned that the hikes would be in the range of 6-8% for offshore employees, and 3-4% for on-site staff. Wipro didn’t comment on the quantum of hikes. The overhang of the pandemic has forced IT firms to revisit their appraisal cycles. Wipro’s annual increment is normally effective June. Those in the C1 band and above have missed one cycle. “Our employees have shown remarkable resolve and resilience in ensuring seamless business continuity and maintaining high standards of service in these challenging times. Wipro has announced 100% variable pay linked to business metrics for all employees for both the third quarter (October-December) and the fourth quarter (January-March) of financial year 2020-21,” the company said in response to TOI’s query.

The company had given 100% variable pay to its employees for the July-September quarter. The Bengaluru-based company reported 3.15% rise in its net profit at Rs 2,465.7 crore for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Wipro shares closed 0.65% lower at Rs 358.45 apiece on Monday. It has delivered 46% return in this year so far.
