The idea of the two week severance is all that makes the cost of treating the risk non-zero. Organizations are not required to provide such severance packages to individuals who have provided their notice, and may (and most likely will) engage in indemnity-free firing of the individual in question. No risk, no cost. This is why it is an increasingly bad idea on the part of employees to give all but the most cursory notice of their departure. It is essentially of greater interest to the bottom line to terminate noticed employees instantly than to risk their potential financially damaging actions.
