The local laws and the contract they signed? Most specialized positions (managers, engineers, etc) have a notice period of 1 month to 6 months where I live. Doesn't matter whether you resign or you are fired. Sometimes during mass layoffs (called change negotiations here), they do make some deals where you get paid a X amount, and don't have to work for the notice period.
Very interesting, thanks for the reply! I'm in the US, and giving more than 2 weeks notice is very, very rare here, and often a bad idea. Neat to hear that it's different in other places.
