Oracle is offering recently laid-off employees<\/a> four weeks of severance and an additional week per year of service, according to documents viewed by Business Insider.<\/p>\n

The latest documents did not state Oracle’s maximum severance, but the company’s standard pay plan, as reported by\u00a0Business Insider in March, capped severance at 26 weeks<\/a>. That package stated: “four weeks of base salary for your first year of employment, plus one week’s salary for each additional year of employment, based on your most recent hire date, up to a combined maximum of 26 weeks of base salary.”<\/p>\n

Oracle did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

Oracle started a new round of layoffs on Monday, confirming Business Insider’s recent reporting<\/a> that the company had drawn up plans to reduce payroll as it racks up billions in debt to fund AI infrastructure.<\/p>\n

“After careful consideration of Oracle’s current business needs, we have made the decision to eliminate your role as part of a broader organizational change,” copies of the latest layoff notification email<\/a> stated. “As a result, today is your last working day.”<\/p>\n

Oracle’s severance package appears less generous than those offered by its Big Tech peers.<\/p>\n

Salesforce’s standard policy<\/a> offers up to 30 weeks of severance pay, with a minimum of 9 or 13 weeks based on role, plus an additional 3 weeks of service per year.<\/p>\n

Microsoft offered employees in its latest round of layoffs<\/a> this summer up to 39 weeks’ base pay, with a minimum of 60 days and one or two additional weeks per six months of service, depending on seniority.<\/p>\n
