Satyam Computer`s HR dept starts employee verification
Hyderabad Jan 24 (PTI) The human resources department of Satyam Computer Services has started verification to ascertain the company`s headcount, following the Andhra Pradesh CID`s claim that there were 13,000 ghost employees on the rolls of the IT firm. "Our HR department is now verifying the employee details," the company`s spokesperson told PTI today.
"As of now, we believe there are 53,000 employees, which is subject to verification and auditing," a Satyam spokesperson told PTI yesterday, adding "the board has confirmed that prima facie there appears to be no basis to doubt the same." The Andhra Pradesh CID had told the local court that Satyam`s founder B Ramalinga Raju had admitted that the number of employees was inflated by over 12,000, by which he (Raju) drew over Rs 20 crore a month towards staff cost.
Ramalinga Raju`s lawyer Bharat Kumar said the police claim is wrong. According to a Satyam official, the line managers have been asked to provide details of the employees directly reporting to them.
The HR department`s verification is based on active e-mail IDs and access card data captured across the offices of Satyam. The company was supposed to have had 53,000 employees and operated in 66 countries with a customer base of 185 Fortune 500 companies.
