that recruitment is carried out as per the requirements.

We have various incentives based programs which keep the people motivated at alltimes. Besides this there are entertainment and grievance committee formed by and ofour employees.

We have a large pool of resources and new recruitments are being regularly andconstantly done to keep a steady flow. Further candidates are being regularly trained inour training division to keep the flow continuous and uninterrupted.
In case, replacements are necessary, we would induct the necessary resources from ourexisting pool as there are always a few resources on the bench or working on in houseprojects and thus can be shifted. They would be briefed and trained initially for 15 daysunder the experienced resources so that they can subsequently take over without anyhiccups.
As a matter of fact, we always keep one additional resource on the project at ourexpense (if for example you have taken 3 resources, we at our end will allocate 4 so thatthere is always one resource as backup).So we keep this buffer.
2.5 How long is out of your experience the average time a developerstays in a project? What are the key drivers when a developer isleaving the project /your company)
Usually we keep the team dedicated to the project till the project ends. At times inmodular development, we dedicate the resources module wise. If any developer

17.6 Penalties
Please propose a penalty structure in case of any unsatisfying serviceresults out of the SLA.
We do not accept or agree to any penalty clause. That is why our termination clause isextremely flexible. In case you are not satisfied with our work, you can terminate it with just a30 days notice period. In case of extreme dissatisfaction, we as per the contract, agree to payback the amount received from you. Thus is an exact case scenario, you don’t not tend to loseanything in monetary terms but only that amount of time. Thus from one perspective our penaltywould be refund of the amount received.
