Infosys awarded an average variable pay of 70% for the first quarter, consistent with the previous quarter but down from 80% a year ago, reflecting ongoing challenges in the IT sector amid economic uncertainty and reduced spending. Employees at job levels 4 and 5 received slightly higher bonuses than those at level 6. The company reported a 12% year-on-year profit increase but lowered its annual revenue growth outlook. Salary hike details are expected in October and January, with employees awaiting further clarity.
