Has anyone here on H1b taken personal leave of absence? If so, what was the process like? Any restrictions?

What is your reason for leave of absence?
If it is medical then read the short term disability policy. Full pay up to 13 weeks for SC and below,
25 weeks for manager and above.

Just want some time off. No reason. I’ve see my peers take personal leave of absence to just take a break over the summer.

Has anyone moved to Accenture Uk directly from some other MNC in India. I am being told that Accenture Uk will sponsor the visa but the Visa cost will be initially paid out by myself and it is approx 10000 pounds. This will be reimbursed once I come to the Uk. Also , for dependents Accenture will not sponsor the visa which is almost 5000 per person. Any insights on this would be useful.?
