Wipro cuts freshers pay by 50 per cent, offers salary package of Rs 3.5 lakh per year
India TodayWipro is slashing salary offers of fresh recruiters after promising them high annual pay. The tech company initially promised to pay an annual package of Rs 6.5 lakh to freshers that successfully completed their training at Wipro. The email, which has been obtained by Business Standard, mentions that Wipro will now only be able to pay annual package of Rs 3.5 lakh to freshers. As we work to honour all outstanding offers made, this current offer creates an immediate opportunity for candidates to start their careers, build their expertise and acquire new skills — both through the interesting and innovative work that we do, as well as our extensive learning and development programmes,” the company said. Criticizing the move to cut down almost 50 percent of salaries, Harpreet Singh Saluja, President of Nascent Information Technology Employees Senate, said, “We strongly condemn Wipro’s unethical move to reduce the salaries of employees awaiting to join.
