IndiGo is implementing a limited-graded leave-without-pay programme for three months till July, the airline said in a mail to its employees. The move will have no impact on a majority of its employees, it added.
“Given the gradual build-up of capacity, I am afraid we have to take the additional painful step of implementing a limited, graded leave without pay programme for the months of May, June and July,” Ronojoy Dutta, the airline’s Chief Executive Officer, said in the letter to employees. “This leave without pay will range from 1.5 days to 5 days depending on the employee group. While doing so, we will make sure that Level A employees, who form a majority of our workforce, will not be impacted.” Details of the pay cut will be shared in the next few days, he added.
