Intel (India) fires 250 employees
Faking bills to claim your allowances like conveyance, drivers’ salaries and LTA? That may be commonplace in India Inc, but one company is now taking that malpractice with uncompromising seriousness.
Intel Technologies India has sent out scores of employees — some say it could be as high as 250 — over the past few months following an audit and investigation of allowance claims made by employees in recent years.
Sources say that under its business practice excellence (BPX) initiative, Intel set up an independent team to investigate claims, which then proceeded to take immediate action against the employees found guilty.
"It was like they are working with us one day, and are suddenly not there from the day after," said one employee.
