TATA CONSULTANCY SERVICES Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) employs over 15000 professionals, has offices in 23 countries and

projects in 50 countries across the world, and revenues around $700 million. Among its clientele are number of Fortune 500 companies and it is in the league of 30 top IT consulting firms in the world. TCS today is an Indian enterprise with a global reach. Its hiring and people care practices are in line with the industry practices and the compensation model has been traditional. The company has now set its sights on becoming a truly global organisation. Its vision is to be among the top 10 IT consulting organisations in the world, a global employer of choice. EVA Based Compensation Model TCS is looking towards institutionalising leading edge practices in hiring, training, and people care, with and innovative EVA - based compensation model. The target model will be one that offers a high growth, high performance internal environment to empowered, proactive, highbrand consultants operating in a dynamic external environment. The individual works towards the improvement of the benefit package, which essentially has three components - the Corporate EVA, the Business Unit EVA, and the Individual Performance Factor. Out of the total EVA payment a certain percentage goes to each employee on the basis of corporate EVA improvement. Secondly, if your business unit did better than another business unit, then automatically you got more than the other business unit. Again it is a team reward concept. The third one depends on the evaluation of individual performance.

Bouquet of Benefits In order to attract new recruits as well as retain the existing talent, TCS, Asias largest IT services provider, has a scheme called Bouquet of Benefits , which allows TCSers to design their own pay packets. Launched some six years ago, employees are allowed to make changes to their salary structure twice in a year. The flexible-benefit plan aids employees in working out their tax payouts. For instance, the employee can cap the amount on food vouchers and divert the rest to other benefits.

Basic Salary: Base salary is a fixed amount of money paid to an employee by an employer in return for work performed. Base salary does not include benefits, bonuses or any other potential compensation from an employer. Conveyance Allowance: A conveyance allowance refers to an amount of money reimbursed to someone for the operation of a vehicle or the riding of a vehicle. The allowance is typically a designated amount or percentage of total transportation expenses that is referenced in a country's tax laws or code. House Rent Allowance: House Rent Allowance (HRA) is given by the employer to the employee to meet the expenses in connection with rent of the accommodation. Medical Reimbursement: As a benefit, an employee may be reimbursed for qualified medical expenses from his or her employer. The funds received are tax-free, but because the plan is employer funded, the employer has the right to cancel or alter the distributions at any time. In spite of this, many employees consider Medical reimbursements as a valuable benefit given the rising cost of health care. Bonus: Bonuses are one of the ways employers reward their employees for a job well done. Bonuses are usually determined as a percentage of annual salary, though giving all employees the same monetary bonus is also an option. A growing number of employers are reducing salaries and increasing the portion of compensation that's performance-based, such as bonuses. Leave/Travel Allowance: Leave Travel Allowance (LTA) is granted by the employers to the employees as part of the remuneration to provide for travel expenses incurred during the year. Leave Travel Allowance also covers such expenses of the spouse, children as well as dependent parents and siblings. Hospitalization: The employees should be provided allowances to get their regular check-ups, say at an interval of one year. Even their dependents should be eligible for the medi-claims that provide them emotional and social security. Insurance: Organizations also provide for accidental insurance and life insurance for employees. This gives them the emotional security and they feel themselves valued in the organization. Retirement Benefits: Benefits, other than pension distributions, paid to employees during their retirement years. Most post-retirement benefits include life insurance and medical plans. Although these benefits are mostly employer-paid, retired employees often share in the cost of

these benefits through co-payments, payment of deductibles and making employee contributions to the plan when required. Grade Pay: Grade pay means the basic pay drawn by a member of the Service in the grade in which he is appointed substantively. Professional Development Reimbursement: The purpose of the Reimbursement of Professional Development Expenses Policy is to reimburse members for eligible professional development expenses which relate solely to those activities which enhance an individuals performance, ability or effectiveness. Ex-Gratia: Compensation payments are often made ex gratia when a government or organization is prepared to compensate victims of an event such as an accident or similar, but not to admit liability to pay compensation, or for causing the event. Superannuation: Superannuation is a retirement Benefit by employer. It is a contribution made by employer each year on your behalf towards the group superannuation policy held by the employer. This is an important part of creating wealth for your retirement . Gratuity: Gratuity is a part of salary that is received by an employee from his/her employer in gratitude for the services offered by the employee in the company. Gratuity is a defined benefit plan and is one of the many retirement benefits offered by the employer to the employee upon leaving his job. An employee may leave his job for various reasons, such as retirement/superannuation, for a better job elsewhere, on being retrenched or by way of voluntary retirement. Provident Fund: The EPF is a scheme intended to help employees from both private and nonpensionable public sectors save a fraction of their salary every month in a saving scheme, to be used in an event that the employee is temporarily or no longer fit to work or at retirement. Company Car Value: When a company car is made available for the private use of an employee a 'benefit in kind' value is calculated in relation to the car, and the fuel if that is also provided for private use. Hard Furnishing/Assets: Senior Management Personnel are entitled for certain assets under this scheme at their residence subject to a maximum amount mentioned below. The assistance availed by the manager is renewable once in four years. The entitlement amount includes company air conditioners at residence, which was earlier given in addition to the hard furnishing assistance.
