Infosys Fined €175,000 by French Labour Authority Over Work-Hour Tracking System
Infosys was fined 175,000 euros (around Rs 2 crore) by the French regional labour authority DRIEETS Île-de-France for non-compliance with local labour laws regarding its employee working-time recording system. The authority cited shortcomings in the system's reliability, auditability, and monitoring for certain employee categories. Infosys stated the penalty will not materially impact its financials or operations and is reviewing the situation to determine next steps. French labour laws require accurate tracking of working hours to ensure compliance with statutory limits and overtime payments.
