Even IT giants aren’t immune to paperwork problems. **Infosys** has been fined €175,000 (roughly Rs 2 crore) by French labour authorities after regulators found gaps in how the company tracked employee working hours — a reminder that compliance rules don’t bend for global scale.

| Issued by | DRIEETS Île-de-France |

## What Actually Went Wrong

According to Infosys’s exchange filing, the problem wasn’t how many hours employees worked — it was whether the system tracking those hours held up to French legal standards. [French labour law](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_time#France) requires employers to maintain accurate, auditable time records, largely tied to the country’s statutory 35-hour work week. Regulators found Infosys’s system fell short on exactly those fronts: reliability, audit trails, and monitoring for some employee groups.

Infosys has been quick to clarify that the penalty won’t dent its financials, operations, or client deliveries. Still, the timing is notable — it comes as the company tightens in-office attendance rules back home in India, extending stricter norms to more senior job bands.

For a global IT major juggling labour laws across dozens of countries, this fine is a small but pointed reminder: one-size-fits-all HR systems rarely satisfy every jurisdiction’s fine print.
