Beleaguered ed-tech Byjus is rumored to have moved the complete and final payment period for its laid-off employees from September to November, as per the media reports.

The company fired around 1000 employees in the month of June this year from its different departments including mentoring, logistics, training, sales, post-sales, and finance citing that the move is aimed at profitability.

According to a news published in Moneycontrol, the company has written an email to these employees in which it has been said that there will be some more delay in making the final payment.

The company said in the mail to make the outstanding payment by 17th November. "you are hereby notified that the full and final settlement amount will be paid by 17th November 2023," as per the news website.

Talking to another news website the spokesperson of Byjus regrated the delays and said that the edtech is committed to paying its obligations. He said, "The organisation is devoted to fulfilling its responsibilities as quickly as feasible even if we are going through a difficult corporate restructuring."

Byjus said that it would make an initial payment of $300 million within three months and would return the whole amount within six months.
