Version 2.2 Local Onsite Policy 5th December 2012

1. Background/ Introduction:

We have traditionally followed an ODC model where most of our employees work out of Wipro facilities;
however some accounts may require employees to report to a local client office for a sufficiently long
period of time. Due to such work arrangement, these employees have limited or no access to amenities
provided at Wipro locations. This policy is designed to support such employees.

2. Definition

A local client office is a client location in India and which is not a Wipro premise.

Top

3. Effective Date

This policy is effective 1st August 07.

4. Eligibility

The policy is applicable in the following situations:

4.1 An employee required to work at a client office for a minimum period of one
month, subject to:

The clients office being in the same city as the employees location of posting.
Such work requirement being explicitly approved by the client.
The project is approved by the SBU HR Head, BFM, Vertical/Practice Head for giving the
local onsite allowance.
In the event employee is on temporary relocation and is claiming allowances as per the Temporary
Relocation Policy, the Local Onsite Policy will not apply even if employee is working from client location.

Definition of one month in context of this policy is as below:

To be eligible for the full local onsite amount in a particular month, the employee should have worked for
20 days or more from the client location. If the number of days worked from client location is lesser than
20 days, the local onsite allowance will be prorated accordingly. The days on local onsite working must be
continuous and not in piecemeal pattern.

Version 2.2 Local Onsite Policy 5th December 2012

Formula for computation of the local onsite amount is the following:

Number of days worked*6000/90. The details shared by the managers should be inclusive of weekend and
exclude personal leaves.

4.2 This policy would be applicable uniformly for all the employees working in the
respective account irrespective of the horizontal or vertical they belong to.
