Salesforce offers up to 30 weeks of severance to laid-off US employees

Internal documents show that eligible U.S. workers can receive up to 30 weeks of severance as the company begins another round of layoffs. Notifications began Monday and were tied to a regulatory notice in California, amid concerns that AI tools could replace traditional software such as the company’s CRM; the stock is down more than 30% this year.

The severance policy bases payments on level, tenure, and age. Senior directors and director-level employees receive 13 weeks of base pay, while senior managers and employees below that level receive nine weeks. Workers aged 60 and older get an additional four weeks, and employees receive three extra weeks of pay per year of service, with partial years counted as a full year.

The plan also provides six months of COBRA health coverage, or 12 months for those 60 or older. The combined total of level- and tenure-based pay is capped at 26 weeks, rising to 30 weeks for employees aged 60 and up. The package appears more generous than recent offers from other big tech firms.
