Oracle has laid off approximately 12,000 employees in India, notifying them via email about the termination of their positions. The severance package offered includes 15 days' salary for each year of service, along with a one-month unpaid wage until termination, leave encashment, gratuity, and a two-month bonus for those who resign voluntarily. This package is reportedly calculated based on gross salary and includes an insurance coverage worth ₹20,000 (approximately $240 USD). Additionally, employees will receive a month of 'gardening leave' salary, which is a paid notice period where no work is required. In contrast, Oracle's severance package for employees in the United States offers four weeks of base salary for the first year of employment, plus an extra week for each subsequent year, capping at 26 weeks. The disparity in severance structures highlights the varying policies based on location, and Oracle has yet to provide an official statement regarding the specifics of the severance packages.
