  Being dismissed due to misconduct can be instant, e.g. if you were stealing or otherwise breaking the law. (Sometimes this goes to court, and the court can say the dismissal was unfair and grant the missing pay. Unions often help with this.) Being made redundant has the paid period, and depending on the business it might require working, or it might not. If the factory just burned down, or (like in this Twitter case) management decided a whole team was completely pointless for the business, or if you do something with serious security measures, you'll probably not need to come to work, but if they're closing the factory on a known schedule you probably do. There's usually a similar notice period when the employee resigns, although it's common for this period to be less. I think mine is 3 months either way, but in my previous job it was 1 month when I resigned, and 2 months if they dismissed me (but 0 for misconduct). A lower bound of some of these rights is in EU/UK law, and many countries go beyond the minimum. These laws were passed through pressure from (mostly) unions.
