The company, during its second quarter earnings, had said that it plans to award merit-based salary increases for the vast majority of employees during the second half of 2025.

 

"These increases will be delivered up to, and including, the Senior Associate levels.

"The amount of these increases will vary depending on individual performance rating and country," a Cognizant spokesperson said on Thursday.

About 80 per cent of eligible employees will receive a salary hike, effective November 1, 2025, according to the company.

In India, pay increases for consistent highest performers will be in the high single digits, the spokesperson added.

Top performers will receive the highest increases.

Earlier this year, Cognizant paid most of its associates their highest bonuses in three years.
