I'm working in Tata Consultancy for last 9months. I got allocated to Deployment team in Kolkata. I'm a quick learner and it was my mistake to learn everything so quickly. I've been forced to work for 12hrs at least regularly. Also, I've been providing night support daily for production (yes!! Production is happening daily) but I'm not getting any overtime pay. My manager is not responding to my mails regarding my dues. What shall I do?? Will HR help me? I'm demotivated and I want to resign. 😞

You raise grievance or ethical concern in ultimatix.. they will definitely respond... dont fear or shy away... Current generation freshers are very vocal... Be vocal about ur inconvenience...

You might be in overload due to resource crunch in most of the projects due to this attrition....

There is no overtime allowance in TCS... The policy is different.. so don't waste ur time in expecting this...

are u getting night shift allowance atleast ? (360 per day)...

I totally agree on this. Raise your voice. Escalate to the higher management.

I did the same when I was a fresher. Later I concentrated on myself and stopped being online after 6 ! Try that! Will help a lot

If you are working after 10 pm.. You are eligible for NSA. And even if you have bond no one can force you work. You ask for release from project.

like

Better to resign once your bond period is over. If you are in your 9th month then you can resign now itself so that after serving 3 months notice period you'll have 1 YOE, and hence no bond will be broken.
Even I am planning to resign soon!
Good luck mate

Thank you. I will mail to my Project Lead along with Unit HR.

What is your YOE ?

TCS does not pays for over time unless your hours are billable to customer and customer allowes for over time. More over expectation regarding work timings should always be set. This is how you manage WLB no matter where you are. The yes sir yes mam attitude will ruin you WLB definitely. Now just jo set your expectations and limitations and work as per these.

People generally make Kolkata people work more. Anyways u can discuss and set boundaries if don't work then resign.

Kuchh bhi?! 😂

In tcs who do overtime. Dont work first of all. Take 1 day for 1 hour work and raise the grevience.
