Oracle's recent decision to lay off approximately 30,000 employees globally, including 12,000 in India, marks its largest workforce reduction to date. The layoffs were communicated via email on March 31, with severance packages now under scrutiny. In India, the severance package follows the N+2 formula, providing 15 days' salary for each completed year of service, along with one month of unpaid wages, leave encashment, gratuity, and notice period compensation. Additionally, a two-month salary bonus is available for employees who resign voluntarily. Meanwhile, in the US, Oracle's severance offer includes four weeks of base salary for the first year of employment, plus one additional week for each subsequent year, capped at 26 weeks. This calculation requires employees to have completed at least six months in their final year. The severance payouts may also be influenced by local regulations, particularly in states with a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) notice period. As official communication from Oracle remains sparse, many affected employees in India have taken to social media to share their experiences and insights regarding the severance pay scheme.
