On Wednesday, HCL Technologies joined in on the controversy surrounding moonlighting, saying that while the practice is not allowed, it is not a huge problem at the business.
In layman's terms, " moonlighting" is when an employee works at more than one job at once.
The company's Chief People Officer Ramachandran Sundararajan said, "We do not encourage our employees to hold down other jobs while employed by HCL Tech."
"Everyone who joins HCL Tech does so under the terms of an exclusive employment contract. We depend on our staff to uphold their contracts' confidentiality and non-compete terms."
