Satyam to set up virtual bench

Satyam will be setting up a virtual bench for surplus employees who have not been assigned any work. The number of non-revenue earning employees on the virtual bench is likely to total 7,000-10,000, out of which around 7,000-8,000 may come from the technical side. The rest would be from the support staff.NDTV broke the virtual bench story last month.Tech Mahindra Chief Executive and Satyam board member Vineet Nayyar said Satyam does not wish to fire employees, but work has contracted in last few months, so they are being put on virtual bench. Satyam will take a call after six months on employees put on virtual bench, he said.
