CSC to Ingersoll Rand IT Infrastructure Services
Employee Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Monday, September 16, 2013
Why are we switching IT infrastructure services back to Ingersoll Rand?
In recent months, senior leaders from CSC and Ingersoll Rand have been actively engaged in
discussions focused on how best to leverage the respective capabilities of each company and continue
to strengthen our business partnership. We have reached an agreement that includes a phased
approach for bringing select functions back in to Ingersoll Rand. With an operational excellence
perspective, the clear goal is to improve our Information Technology services to our global customers
by optimizing our service-related processes. By strategically bringing select services back in to
Ingersoll Rand, the IT leaders be able to more closely direct and manage the adjustments we need to
make in order to drive both rapid and sustainable results.
What is changing?
In general, Ingersoll Rand will re-assume responsibilities that are ‘closest to the Ingersoll Rand
customer’ that includes, but is not limited to:
Field Services and Desktop Support
Servers located at Ingersoll Rand locations
Applications Systems and Data Base Administration
Local Area Network and Telephone Systems
Compliance and User Provisioning
Network Security and Risk Management
Wide Area Network
What will remain the same?
Going forward, CSC will continue to provide primary support for:
Enterprise Service Management (Remedy – MyTicket and MyRequest)
Enterprise Data Center Support
Service Desk
What is the timeline for the transition?
Although the target date for the signing of the contract is at the beginning of September, the transition
of services will not begin until the late September/early October timeframe in order to provide us will
an opportunity to select and hire qualified staff to support the transitioned IT services.

Desktop engineering, application system administration, active directory, Citrix, database
administration and asset management are the first services that are scheduled to transition back to
Ingersoll Rand. The migration of the other transitioning infrastructure services will be staggered
through the remainder of this calendar year. Wide Area Network services are scheduled for transition
during the first to second quarter of 2014.
Wave 1 Services (Desktop Engineering, Active Directory, User Account Provisioning,
Compliance, Sys Admin, DBA, Asset Management and Citrix) – Transition scheduled for End of
September
Wave 2 Services (Remote Server, Field Services, Project Management, LAN, Wireless, IPT –
NA/LAR) – End of October
Wave 3 Services (Remote Server, Field Services, Project Management, LAN, Wireless, IPT –
AP/India) – End of November
Wave 4 Services (Remote Server, Field Services, Project Management, LAN, Wireless, IPT –
EMEA) – End of December
Wide Area Network Services (WAN) – April 2014
EMEA Region-Specific Question
1. Can you share more details regarding the EMEA consultation and on boarding process? Who
will be leading from Allegion and Ingersoll Rand? Will Ireland and the UK go first? Two
levels of consultation – at European level and the second is country-by-country with works
council or without. Local rules in Ireland and UK are straight forward. It will take a couple
of weeks to make it through the process.
Both CSC and Ingersoll Rand have to inform the European Work council, followed by an information
process towards local work councils. In any case, it is national legislation that will indicate the length and
the different steps of the information process. For practical details, we refer you to your local HRBP.

Recruiting Process FAQs
3. Will legacy Ingersoll Rand employees who are currently employed by CSC be treated as re-
hires? Yes. You will be granted an adjusted service date based on your previous experience with
Ingersoll Rand. However, CSC years of service will not be transferred/recognized by Ingersoll
Rand. Prior service with Ingersoll Rand will be recognized for purposes of vesting.
4. If you are legacy Ingersoll Rand, like-for-like position, what criteria is being used to
determine whether or not individuals will be brought back on? If you are a former Ingersoll
Rand employee currently employed by CSC applying for a role that is “like or similar” to your current
position, you will not be required to go through a formal interview process. You will participate in a job
expectation discussion with the hiring manager(s) and Human Resources.
If you are a former Ingersoll Rand employee currently employed by CSC and apply for an open position
that is different than your current position (not “like or similar”) you will be required to go through
Ingersoll Rand’s standard behavioral interview process.
Ingersoll Rand internal employees applying for a position that is different (not “like or similar”) to their
current position, external candidates, former Ingersoll Rand employees no longer with CSC, Ingersoll
Rand contract employees, will go through Ingersoll Rand’s standard behavioral based interview process.
5. Will former Ingersoll Rand employees who are currently employed by CSC be given
preference over external hires? Yes.
6. CSC Contractors and Interns (The Context: CSC currently employs IT contactors to provide support
to Ingersoll Rand. They also transferred IT interns from Ingersoll Rand to CSC in November 2011. Some
of those contractors have been supporting Ingersoll Rand locations since several years and ago and I think
some of them are talented and important to the business.)
If those contractors or interns want to apply to one of these positions, will they be considered
external applicants even that they work for CSC/Ingersoll Rand?
4 | P a g e
4
All contractors will be considered as external applicants should they elect to apply for an open position.
Therefore, they will have to go through the normal Ingersoll Rand hiring process regardless of their
previous contracting relationship with Ingersoll Rand (e.g., full interviews, drug screening and
background checks).
Interns (i.e., who are legacy Ingersoll Rand staff and are currently working CSC in support of the
Ingersoll Rand contract), will not be considered as an external applicant. Therefore, they will not be
required to go through the formal behavioral interview process if they are applying for a like-for-like
position. Our goal is to fill positions with internal Ingersoll Rand and/or legacy Ingersoll Rand staff who
are currently employed by CSC.
7. Will former Ingersoll Rand employees that moved to CSC in 2011 and who are not currently
employed in CSC, also be considered as an external applicant? Yes.
8. Will former Ingersoll Rand employees who declared “retirement” to protect retirement
medical funds when they left Ingersoll Rand to go to CSC be eligible for transition back to
Ingersoll Rand? You will be considered as a ‘rehire’ in the recruitment and hiring process.
9. I am a former Ingersoll Rand employee; however, upon transition to CSC the moved me off of
the Ingersoll Rand account and put into a different line of work for another account. If I am
interested in the same type of position that I once held at Ingersoll Rand, will I be required to go
through the “full interview process?” No, given that you would be applying for a like for like role.
10. I have 10 years with Trane/Ingersoll Rand but was laid off prior to the transition to
CSC. Now working for CSC for the last year, will I be considered a legacy Ingersoll Rand
employee? Yes.
11. Will the CSC IT external contractor positions be also transitioned to Ingersoll Rand? Moving
forward CSC will only retain positions for the following three functions: enterprise data center, perimeter
security and help desk functions. Ingersoll Rand will reassume all of the other remaining services that
were either performed by CSC personnel or contractors to CSC.
12. Any clarity regarding the timing and process for recruiting for positions that are not filled by
CSC folks? How/when will the gaps be filled? The external hiring process normally takes 60
days. With that in mind, our objective is to fill positions as quickly as possible.

Interviews and Job Discussion FAQs
13. How will I be notified of my interview time? By phone, email, or both? Ingersoll Rand will
reach out to you by phone and e-mail. Most likely we will call you first and follow up with an e-mail.
14. I am a CSC Field Service Technician for the Ingersoll Rand Account. I am not a former
Ingersoll Rand employee. Do I need take an interview in order to be hired by Ingersoll Rand
after applying? Being that I am a CSC employee, will I still get preference over other
candidates from the outside? Yes, you will be required to participate in an interview in order to be
considered for any open Ingersoll Rand position. However, since you have worked on the Ingersoll Rand
account, hiring managers will consider this experience to be a ‘plus’ over other external candidates that
do not have any Ingersoll Rand experience.

my current role transitions much sooner (e.g., Wave 1) can I be considered for a Wave 3 role if
I am hired in to a Wave 1 role? If not, how long will I be required to stay in my new position
at Ingersoll Rand? You might want to consider applying for both positions and clearly communicate
your career aspirations during the job expectations discussion and interview process. If you are hired in
to a Wave 1 role, you can apply and be considered positions in other waves. Ingersoll Rand IT managers
will be flexible regarding the company’s 18 month time-in-position policy for those Wide Area Network

Years of Experience-Related FAQs
42. I have been with Trane since Sept of 2007. When Ingersoll Rand purchased then outsourced
IT to CSC we were transitioned over to CSC with our time served allowing us to carry over
our vacation earned. My question is in regards to whether Ingersoll Rand will recognize our
time served with Trane/ Ingersoll Rand so as to allow our years of experience earned to
continue with all the benefits that go along with said years or whether we will be starting

are looking for some clarification on a question from yesterday's call. If they return to
Ingersoll Rand, would their years of service be Ingersoll Rand/Trane years plus ACS years
plus CSC years or Ingersoll Rand/Trane years plus CSC years? Vacation leave will be an adjusted
service date which means that any years of service with Ingersoll Rand/Trane will be considered when
you come back to Ingersoll Rand; however any years within ACS/CSC will not be.
89. Will Ingersoll Rand offer me a H1B Visa which opens next April and then can take me in to
Ingersoll Rand as Full Time Employee? IF you are an L-1B worker currently, Ingersoll Rand could
sponsor you for H-1B in April but it would not be effective until October 2014. We will need to know
how much L-1B time he has used up already working in USA. L time counts against the 6 year H-1B
limit so we need to know how much available work authorization you have left
90. I am currently on L1B Visa and working in Siebel Admin. My current work permit does not
allow me to shift to Ingersoll Rand, but I am interested in Ingersoll Rand. Can I continue to
work in Ingersoll Rand as a contractor through CSC - If yes, please let me know the process
for the same. You can only work as a contractor if Ingersoll Rand continues to have a contract for your
specific services with CSC.

CSC FAQs
91. What can current CSC employees expect to assist them in pursuing other opportunities
within CSC? It would be helpful if Ingersoll Rand Account employees could do 3 things:
Make sure you have entered the target transfer of services date to Ingersoll Rand in the Global Resource
Manager (GRM) system - if in doubt use 31 Dec 2013 - so that Sourcing Managers will look at the IR
Account employees as potentially becoming available before any other candidates.
Make sure you have updated your resume and skills matrix to reflect your most recent skills and
experience. GRM uses that information extensively in CSC internal opportunity searches.
Make sure your current Global Delivery Network (GDN) resource owners are aware that you may be
coming available because they are also looking for people to fill roles that have not yet been advised to the
Sourcing Managers.
92. Will I still be working for CSC and be expected to turn in my time through the time codes
that have been provided for me in the past?
You should consult with your CSC manager in response to this question.
93. Will I be notified by CSC when the last days or week that I will be working for them at an
Ingersoll Rand location?
Your CSC manager will be able to provide you with guidance as the transition unfolds.
94. Will you consider staff augmentation via CSC during the interim period if positions remain
unfilled? Yes.
95. Do we have to give CSC 60 day’s prior notice of our intention to terminate employment and
accept an offer from Ingersoll Rand? No, you will need to notify CSC of your intention to join
Ingersoll Rand but will not be required to provide 60 days’ notice.
96. How will the separation be made with CSC? How will that work?
For Wave 1 the last day of employment with CSC will be on Friday, October 4th and the start date with
Ingersoll Rand will be October 5th. Wave 2, the last day will be November 1st and start date with
Ingersoll Rand is November 2nd. You should follow the normal resignation process with CSC to
facilitate a smooth transition between companies.

Ingersoll Rand Benefits FAQs: Retirement
102. With the transition back to Ingersoll Rand will my retirement benefits be the same as prior
to the transition to CSC? If you are rehired with Ingersoll Rand, then you will be eligible to
participate in the Ingersoll Rand 401(k) plan (the Ingersoll-Rand Company Employee Savings Plan
(ESP)). The company match is $1 of $1 up to the first 6% of eligible pay that you contribute PLUS a
core (or non-matching) company contribution equal to 2% of your eligible pay that will provided
regardless of whether you contribute to the ESP. You are immediately eligible to participate in the ESP
upon rehire. Therefore, you are eligible to participate in the ESP with the opportunity to receive up to
8% of eligible pay in employer contributions from Ingersoll Rand.
You are fully vested in your own 401(k) contributions and in company matching contributions at all
times. You are fully vested in the core (or non-matching) company contribution after completing 3
years of vesting service, reaching age 65 while employed by the company, death or becoming disabled
while employed by the company. The 3 years of vesting service may include any service with Ingersoll
Rand before your rehire date depending on whether you satisfy certain “break in service” rules under the
ESP.
Rehired employees are not automatically enrolled in the ESP. Once you are rehired, please contact
Fidelity directly at 866-294-7263, or go to the Fidelity web site https://401k.fidelity.com. Once logged
into the site, choose New Deferral Election under contributions.
103. Will I be eligible to participate in the Ingersoll-Rand Pension Plan Number One (Pension
Plan) upon my hire or rehire date? What happens to my pension benefit if I previously
participated in the Pension Plan? No. Active participation in the Pension Plan has been frozen for
any person hired or rehired on and after July 1, 2012. Therefore, you will not earn any pension benefit for
the service you perform with Ingersoll Rand after your hire or rehire date.
If you previously participated in the Pension Plan and accrued a pension benefit at the time you
terminated, you will continue to be eligible for the amount that you previously accrued provided that you
were vested in that benefit amount at the time you terminated and you did not take a distribution.
Generally, to be vested in the pension benefit you must have 5 years of service. The 5 years of
vesting service may include any service with Ingersoll Rand before your rehire date depending on
whether you satisfy certain “break in service” rules under the Pension Plan.
104. What is vesting service? Vesting service is the period of service used to determine your right to receive
payment of the benefits that you accumulated.
