Usually if it’s a layoff (without cause) and the employee does not have special powers (officer of company) a long notice is given to support a transition. A compensation package which requires signing a contract is the incentive for the employee to cooperate.

This seems incorrect. I was recently laid off and there was 0 notice.

I’m sorry. Times may be changing.
