Infosys Declares Q2 Variable Pay Amid Strong Profit Growth
Infosys Q2 Bonus: There’s a good news for Infosys employees as tech giant has rolled out its second quarter variable pay (bonus), according to a report of Economic Times. Some employees as per the report have received the variable pay up to 83 per cent, while the average payout remaining at 75 per cent.
The ET report stated employees were disappointed that it was slightly lower than the last quarter. According to an employee at level 4, the company has awarded 83% bonus to ‘outstanding’, 78.5% to those marked ‘commendable’, and 75% to employees who ‘met expectations’.
Bonus payouts dropped slightly across job levels, though the overall average for all eligible groups still stayed between 70.5% and 83%. Some employees said their bonuses were about 7–8% lower than what they received in the April–June quarter, when the average payout hovered around 80% and the range was higher at 75–89%.
A bonus usually works as a performance-linked payout that companies give on top of an employee’s regular salary. It’s calculated based on a mix of factors such as how the company performed overall, how the employee performed individually, and the specific payout percentage fixed for their job level or grade. Each quarter or year, the company sets a target bonus—for example, 100%—and the actual payout is then adjusted up or down depending on results.
