If necessary, nearly all companies will give at least 60 days severance in lieu of notice.
More to the point, though, in this particular example I'm not even sure federal WARN notice requirements apply here - there are lots of loopholes people don't often understand. See https://www.schneiderwallace.com/practice-areas/employment/warn-act-mass-layoff-closure/ https://www.schneiderwallace.com/practice-areas/employment/w... - looking at those bullets:
* "Layoffs of 500 or more workers at a single site or location." - doesn't apply, was only 170 employees
* "Layoffs of 50 or more workers when those layoffs comprise 33% of the total full-time workers at the location" - my guess is that doesn't apply either, as the 170 workers were spread throughout the company
* "Layoffs of 50 or more workers when closing a building or facility, or the layoffs include the discontinuation of an entire operating unit" - Again, I believe these discord layoffs were broad-based and not the result of entirely closing a single business unit.

- UncleOxidant 3y ago> If necessary, nearly all companies will give at least 60 days severance in lieu of notice. They don't call it severance - it's just regular pay for 60 days. Technically they're still employed by the company. At the end of that 60 day period when the employment is terminated, that's when severance (if there is any) is paid.
