Wipro Redraws Hybrid Work Lines With New Six-Hour Office Mandate; Here's What It Means

Software major Wipro has sharpened its hybrid work policies, introducing stricter office attendance norms that signal a broader shift in how India’s IT industry views remote work. While Wipro has required employees to come to the office three days a week for some time, the company has now specified a minimum stay of six hours per office day. This duration is calculated between the first “in” and final “out” punch, marking a departure from the earlier flexible approach to working hours. The Bengaluru-based IT exporter, which employs approximately 234,000 people globally, introduced the revised policy on January 1.

Key Highlights

  • According to a report from The Economic Times, citing several employees, the system directly links attendance compliance to leave balances.
  • If an employee fails to meet the weekly requirement, an equivalent number of days may be deducted from their leave balance.
  • Spending fewer than six hours in the office on a mandated day could also result in a half-day leave cut. Importantly, Wipro has clarified that the six-hour requirement applies only to time spent in the office.
  • The total daily working hours remain unchanged at 9.5 hours, with employees expected to complete the remaining hours from home on the same day. Remote Work Window NarrowsWipro has retained its provision for temporary remote work but reduced the allowance to 12 days a year, down from 15 earlier.
  • These days can be used for self-care, illness, or caregiving responsibilities. In an internal communication announcing the changes, the company reiterated its stance on hybrid work.
