New Delhi: Indigo CEO Ronojoy Dutta has written a letter to employees saying there is no choice but to implement pay cuts from May. We want to implement a limited, phased holiday without pay program for May, June and July.
He further said that the work would have to be implemented without pay, without leave.
He further said that pay without leave would be 1.5 to 5 days depending on the group of employees. A-level employees, who are the most important part of our work, will not be affected.
Earlier in April, the company withdrew its pay cut announcement in March after the government appealed to companies not to cut their salaries during the lockdown.
With the exception of Indigo, all its counterparts such as SpiceJet and GoAir have cut salaries or sent large numbers of their employees on unpaid leave.
As per government directives, GoAir has banned bookings for all flights and tickets till May 31. Therefore, flights are not expected to start before June 1.
