Recently, the country’s leading IT company Infosys has also warned its employees about moonlighting i.e. working in two places simultaneously. Infosys has sent an email to employees on September 12 with the title ‘No Double Lives’. The company said in the email that if found working simultaneously at two places, disciplinary action will be taken against the employee as well as loss of job. It is clearly written in the email that in the clause of the appointment letter of the employees, it is written that no employee can work in other places either on full time or part time basis without taking approval from Infosys.
