No, you might not and here's why. I worked at a place that told us we'd be PiP'ing people on our teams that had been selected for us. The condition was some would be on a 2 week, some 4 week, and some 6 week so it all wouldn't be at once. Essentially dragged out over more than 30 days. It tiptoed right around the WARN act, following the letter but not the spirit of the law.
