That 1 week in lieu of notice per year of employment must be "a thing" elsewhere, I've seen it many times.
By the way, as I read the summary above, Oracle did meet the statuatory requirement in Canada + 3 additional weeks of severance. Not that this is "good" of Oracle, they're undoubtedly doing the minimum they can get away with - duty to shareholders over employees and all that.

They explained it more clearly later in the article. 4 weeks for the first year, then 1 week for each additional year of tenure. So a three year employee would get 4+2, which is the same as in Canada. But a 4 year employee would get 4+3 which is less than the statutory (1+1)*4 in Canada. In Canada, once you get to about 6 years of employment, you can start to expect (1+1+2) * (# years). With a cap of about 80 weeks. You'd bust past the woeful 26 week cap with just 7 years of service. And, BTW: You would need 23 years of tenure to hit that 26 week cap.
