I am working with CTS as an associate, Joint as a PAT in Pune, India. Recently I moved to onsite WA, USA on H1B.
I needed some info on Cognizant's Notice period and relieving policy for those associates like me who moved from India to the US on Cognizant US Payroll. I have searched all CTS internal websites, but couldn't find any information regarding this. They have mentioned a two-week notice period for Cognizant US, but I'm not sure if this will apply to me as I moved from India to the US two months back.
Can anyone please help out if anybody has any such information regarding CTS policy? I got a 60% hike onsite, but just because of this confusion, I'm not able to decide as the new employer wants me to join within 3 weeks. Please help.

Hi Raj111300,
I am in the same boat as you were in Mar'2013. The new company is looking to give a 2-week notice period. A little background for me, I joined CTS India and got transferred from Cognizant India to the USA.
1. As per the transfer letter, my employment with Cognizant is "At-will," and in the India offer letter, it is a 60-day notice period. Can you please suggest to me what the notice period would be if I resign in the USA?
2. How was your experience with H1-B Transfer?
2.a) Did you resign after getting the H1-B transferred to the new company, as the new company is not ready to wait until the visa transfer?
2.b) How much risk is involved if I resign after the receipt of H1-B transfer is acknowledged?
4. How was your experience with CTS separation? Your comments will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
