TCS Raises Variable Pay for Senior Employees While Keeping 100% Bonus for Juniors

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) will give higher variable pay to senior employees based on individual and unit performance, as per the news reports. This comes after the company released its Q2 results. The overall quarterly bonus has been increased compared to previous quarters.

Junior Employees to Continue Receiving 100%

Employees at the junior level, including grades C, C1, and C2, will continue to receive 100% of their quarterly variable allowance (QVA). They will also get their annual salary hikes as usual. The plan covers almost all employees except some new joiners.

For employees in C3A grade and above, variable pay will depend on business and individual performance. Overall, the payout for this group will be higher than last year. The company has clarified that the actual amount will vary based on the unit’s performance.
