This applies to everyone at Info Edge who have a Six-day working week.

• The total working hour is 8.5 and the shift timing is as shared with you at the time of joining.
• You have the flexibility to reach office up to 10 minutes from punch in-time of your shift. 
• If you punch in post 10 minutes of the shift start time, it would be considered as late, in case you have punched in 1 hour or more later than your shift start time, then it would be considered as first-half absent
• You should clock in a minimum of 4 hours for you to be marked half day present and 6.5 hours for an early leaving. 
• It is mandatory to mark in and out attendance regularly through the respective modes of attendance
• Prior permission should be taken from your manager for leaving early or on a half day.
• Upon being late on more than three different occasions in one month, a half day leave will be deducted. Followed by a half day leave for all subsequent blocks of three late arrivals.

Example: 

If your Shift timing is 9.30 AM to 6.00 PM

You are permitted to report to office by 9.40 AM 

 If your in-time is between 9.41 AM to 10.30 AM, it will be considered as late. 

In case your in-time is beyond 10.31 AM then you will be marked absent for the first half of the day.

In order to take first half off you should report to work latest by 1:30 PM. and to take the second half off, leave office any time after 2:00 PM.

Reaching office by 9.30 AM and leaving anytime between 4.00 PM to 5.59 PM will be considered as early leaving

Note: Serious action would be taken if an associate is habitually late.

Quick note: 

What is attendance regularization (AR)?

In case the punch in and out time captured is not correct as per your actual in and out time in the office you have an option to get the attendance corrected by regularizing the same. Regularizations should be mandatorily discussed with and approved by your manager.

• Leaves will be worked out on the basis of the calendar year (Jan- Dec).
• You are eligible for 34 leaves in a calendar year.
• Leave balance is credited on a monthly basis. 34/12 = 2.83 days of leave shall be credited on the last date of each month or on pro-rata basis, depending on the number of days worked.
• If you are on approved leave, any Saturday, Sunday or any holiday falling in between shall be considered as part of leave 
• If you are on Leave without Pay (LWP), leave balance shall not be credited for this duration
• A minimum of 10 days leave out of the 34 days allowed, has to be compulsorily utilized in a calendar year. If not availed, these 10 days mandatory leave will lapse (e.g. If only eight days leave has been utilized then the balance two days shall be treated as leave lapse)
• At the end of the calendar year, 10 leaves shall be compulsorily accumulated and carried forward into the next calendar year.
• Any leave balance left shall be encashed and paid along with the January salary.
• All Leave Encashment is calculated on the basic salary and any deduction in case of LWP/LOP is done on gross salary.

Leave balance is calculated on pro-rata basis. If you have joined on 1st May, Total Leave credit for that year will be 8*2.83 =22.64 days

Birthday or Wedding leave

You can take a day off on either your Birthday or your Wedding Anniversary. This Special Leave can only be availed on the date of Birthday or Wedding Anniversary that you have declared in the official company records. Leave on some other date will not be provided in case birthday of anniversary of an associate is on a week off or holiday in a particular year.

Future leave credit

There is a provision to avail advance leave of up-to a maximum of 5 days without being on “Loss of Pay”. Leave balance, in this case, will show as negative and when the next leave credit happens, this negative balance will be adjusted against it.

** Future credit should be availed only in case of an exigency.

In addition to the leave balance, you are eligible for holidays as per the state wise holiday calendar of the year.

Navigation to view the holiday calendar: I-Connect-->policies and documents-->guidelines-->holiday calendar-->download excel

You should have your leaves applied and approved on the HR portal, I-Connect. 

Leave applications need to be approved as per the following guidelines:

• Leaves up to 4 days must be approved by your Reporting Manager
• Leaves for more than 4 days must be approved by your Functional Reporting Manager i.e. the Skip Level Manager

As new joinees, you are allowed to avail leave during your probation period provided your reporting manager approves the leave. 

Prior approval is essential. If however, due to unavoidable circumstances like sudden ill health, prior approval has not been obtained, it will be essential for you to inform your manager of your inability to attend office within the first half of the day of absence. 

At the time of leaving the organization, unutilized leaves will be encashed (on the basic salary) in the Full & Final Settlement.

• Your previous month's attendance is considered for your current month's salary
• The payroll cutoff date is the 15th every month
• All pending leaves and ARs of the previous month should be applied and approved on I-Connect before the cutoff date
• After the cut off date, all dates reflecting as “Absent” will be treated as LOP (Loss of Pay)

• Your salary gets credited on the second last day of every month.
• If you have joined post 18th of the month then your salary will be credited in the following month
• Your salary gets credited to the Bank account number updated on I-Connect or you receive a DD in case the bank account number is not updated.

Let’s take an example of three months January, February and March. 

Your attendance record for January will impact your salary for February. If you have taken a leave on 12thJan, then this leave should be applied and approved on the HR portal (I-Connect) by 15th of next month i.e February. In case this is not done as per timeline, then the system will read 12th January as Absent and 1 day’s salary will be deducted from your salary for February.

The next payroll is for the month of March. To ensure zero deductions in March salary all leave and*attendance regularizations (ARs) for February should be applied and approved on the HRIS portal by 15th of March. In order to receive the reversal of 12th Jan, the leave application for this date should also be closed by 15th March.

If missed then 16th March onwards your access to January’s attendance will be closed and no further reversals will be possible.

*In case of mispunches or On-duty (OD), attendance for a particular date can be corrected on the HR portal through regularization.
